If EU member states believe that taking America to court is too confrontational, they have the lesser option of asking the United Nations to seek an advisory opinion from the ICJ on the compatibility of the NSA’s alleged activities with the Vienna Convention. In any event, the matter cannot rest where it is.
如果欧盟成员国认为将美国诉诸法庭太不友善，那么还有替代方案：要求联合国就NSA被控行为是否符合维也纳公约的问题征求ICJ的意见。无论如何，这件事都不能照目前的方式继续下去。
