I would argue that international law just doesn’t work. A law that isn’t enforced is just a suggestion and as countries can’t have laws enforced on them international law is meaningfully not a thing
I agree with you. There are even Third Worldist theories of international law which say that international law is not ineffective, but rather an active weapon used by the Global North to enforce their interests.
The orthodox position, which I described in my post, is still very useful to cite to libs since they believe in a “rules based order”.
