International law did not develop over night. It took centuries. By the mid/late 20th century, however, international law was firmly planted. Only corrupted, authoritarian gov'ts openly ignored or violated it. What is "international law"? I don't think such thing actually exists. What is it? Where is it written down, and who made it? More importantly, what is the penalty for breaking it? The UN has the ability to put sanctions on countries for their government's actions, which means that the members of the security council are above international law? When the US removed Noriega from power in Panama, didn't we break some mysterious "international laws"? --------------------- I think the term "international law" is used to imply the decisions of the UN, and perhaps the treaties signed between many nations. If so, it should be called as such (UN rulings and treaties), because the term "international law" implies and agreed upon understanding (what countries can and cannot do to each other) that does not exist in the real world.
