UN says Israeli strikes in Lebanon, Hezbollah rockets into Israel may breach international law

UN veto powers without ratified rome statute: US, russia, xina, UN veto powers with ratified rome statute: France, UK. It explains UN and member sheneningans in full depth.

It has nothing to do with pretending or not pretending. International law does exist, but there is no higher level international body that can hold nations accountable to such law. I understand the instinct to say "Well because there is not enough accountability to that law then there is de facto no international law", but if we truly start acting like that and saying that it's okay for every nation to not consider international law at all, then we will be entering ourselves into a much more chaotic and anarchistic world. The fact of the matter is that many middle powers and smaller nations do make real efforts to follow international law (even if they do often fall short), a good example might be sanction laws, which are followed by quite a lot of nations.

The UN was never supposed to stop it, nor was it supposed to decide what was and wasn’t allowed. It’s a forum for the world powers to talk to prevent things like WW1 and 2 snowballing. That’s it. If you’re looking at it for any other function you’re kind of missing the point

That's the problem people are disregarding it... Which is why the UN should be a central for all assets.. meaning if breaking international law your countries money could be devalued, sanctions placed, or completely cut off from global market

Un has already signed a resolution 20 YEARS ago that makes it mandatory for Lebanon and UNIFIL to eject Hezbollah from Lebanon. Problem is Lebanons army is too small and UN's UNIFIL is useless and has been caught AIDING Hezbollah

salaryreapers made me burst laughing

Peacepeepers sounds like some weird sort of vouyeurism lmao 🤣

The problem is that the peacekeepers are just soldiers from poorer countries that are funded and controlled by western powers, specifically US as main financial backer. They are sadly glorified police and protectors for US and western interests and will only help and intervene if it’s in US’s interests And Israel and US share similar interests so US will ride for them since they are basically an American state at this point with US backing. Israel would never get in trouble from UN like they should with veto system

"unguided rockets" LoL. Where is the defining line there? I mean the USA simultaneously launched a rocket so precise that it piloted human beings out around the Moon and back, in the same month that they bombed an elementary school because they were "intending" to hit a military facility nearby. Meanwhile the leeches of that same military technology are bombing the shit out of civilian facilities intentionally, while appealing to the UN that their opponents are firing indiscriminate and "unguided rockets". The hypocrisy is so loud I can't hear myself think!!

Can you explain why, in an article about Israel and Hezb doing something wrong, you only posted blaming Israel? Maybe Hezb could get the f*** out of Lebanon and let the Lebanese army decide how they want to deal with Israel? But then Lebanon and Israel would have peace like Jordan or Egypt does with Israel, and that doesn't suit the Islamists and their western allies.
