I'm not the biggest expert on this series here, so please help me figure this out, and correct me where I may be wrong:

The Justice League knows that the Light has conspired to break several laws, right? They have been in multiple violent conflicts, right? So why are the Light members whose address the League knows (Luthor, Ghul, Bee), never charged with anything?

Example: Luthor keeps an entire species in slavery in the basement of Cadmus (whatever happened to those, anyway?); he abducts, amputates and keeps Harper in stasis for several years; he produces a manchurian human clone with superpowers. Is all of this supposed to be completely legal or something? Because it's does seem very covered up, what with him owning Cadmus where all this takes place. At the end of the day, when the plan to mindcontrol the Justice league went wrong, or when the planetary invasion turned sour,  Lex just goes back to his office in metropolis, loosens his tie and gets Mercy to fix him a stiff one. Or he becomes the secretary-general of the UN. How does that work? Does he just employ a crack team of superpowered superlawyers or something?

It seems like the League can do something about Black Manta when they catch him in "Summit", but it's like it's only because they defeat him in a fight, and like they can only fight the Light out of the public eye or something. I can understand that they might not want to try to depose QB, but why can't they testify against Lex Luthor, or assault Infinity Island and apprehend Ra's?
