...and there is no "world government." You continue to argue as if the UN is the legislature of a world confederacy, and "international law" is handed down as law superior to national law. That is a fiction and a fantasy. "International law" is national law - it is negotiated between nations, and enacted as national law in national legislatures as treaties. Treaties which can be revoked by a similar act of the national legislature, usually with the provision of six months notice to be polite. Compliance with international law is a matter of consent - compliance is voluntary. The law of the State that binds citizens is, in contrast, coercive - compliance is obligatory. If you can not grasp this, I can not help you.
