In your perception: are the agreed international laws still a thing? Or did we enter a time where those became meaningless.

Not sure we have good enforceable international laws. 🐶🐾🤷♂️
it starts with agreeing on universal norms as an international community.
enforcement of laws come second, doesn’t it?
True. But given the diversity of cultures, it’s hard to imagine how we all can agree on “universal” norms. Norm in one culture is not a norm in another 🐶🐾🫡
hence my question, was there ever one and if so did it change.
so you say there never was?
isn’t it mostly just to simplify and build a system on top of, and theorise. don’t think it was ever realistic or feasible though
so you think there never was such a thing? or did your view change in the last years?
i think it was there initially and came from a good place, so we could atleast have common ground, but i feel like year by year the pure initial intention is just getting more and more villainized
but i’m not really sure
There are marine laws that a generally accepted in international waters, me thinks 🐶🐾🤔
Don’t need a kidney
😉
Marine laws are currently being openly disregarded by China in the South China Sea and around the world by their fishing fleet.
Trying to be “enforced” by USA military by exercising “freedom of navigation” exercises but is pretty much a wasted effort as China just doesn’t care and says USA is instigating conflict.
it’s such a huge body of disconnected things that the question if IT is still a thing or if IT is meaningless is irrelevant.
a centralized government to enforce IT would be bad but not sure who or what irons out the contradictions of IT as the body grows.
do you feel there have been some internationally respected norms that have been followed in the last decades, and has this changed?
I don’t think it’s about a global government.
I think in most if not all verticals/categories of international respected norms…
the norms are adhered to, this making them respected norms… 💁♀️
while disputes arise from time to time due to differences in interpretation or interests, the participating nations even in the majority of disputes work to resolve them.
I think what’s happened is we’ve added more verticals, not necessarily bad thing, like cyber, sustainability, climate, and each vertical gets its own headline dispute. Thus making it seem as if disputes or breaks from the norm are more common.
Depends who is breakingt them..
what is your subjective view? was there a change in the past decades?
There are the laws of thermodynamics 🤷♂️
