Does International Law work? Why or why not?

Does International Law work? Why or why not?


    

Walter B
Yes, in most instances it does work. Certainly with matters to do with "Laws of the Sea", "International Aviation" and with most instances of "International Border" disputes.

With matters like "Territorial Waters/International Waters", there are some countries that recognise one limit which is a shorter distance from land (i.e. the US) while most countries recognise a further limit.

There are some countries that constantly violate international laws and the UN charter and seem to get away with it because they are a "Super-power".

Some countries, like the US, do not recognise the International Court of Justice (ICJ) when it applies to the US, but are anxious to use it to their advantage when it suits them. The same with recognition of the International War Crimes Tribunal (IWCT) which was established in the late 1990's. The US does not recognise that it applies to US soldiers, officials or citizens, but is always anxious to have the tribunal prosecute persons of other nationalities.

Yes, and if it doesn't there's always occupation and carpet bombing.
