It traces this erosion to longstanding contradictions within international law—particularly between state sovereignty and human rights—and widespread hypocrisy by powerful states, which has undermined the system’s legitimacy. The piece argues that while international law once provided a shared framework for managing global conflicts and promoting order, its current collapse represents a structural crisis at a time when coordinated international action is critically needed. Ultimately, the article suggests that the demise of international law is a collective outcome shaped by multiple actors rather than the result of any single state’s actions. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
