You could say that about any law, not just “international”.
Look at how laws are applied in your country and you’ll probably find them disproportionately applied against the poor over the rich.
We can’t just set and forget laws. If you want them enforced justly, you need to be active in your political environment and elect people who will do that.
If you want international law applied to the US, you need to elect politicians who would be willing to push for sanctions against them until they comply.
Or if you’re American, vote for politicians who actually respect the international community.
That’s a really naive take TBH, bourgeois “democracies” are designed in such a way that whatever you do, in virtually all cases you can only elect representatives of capital…
Electoralism and reformism are impotent at handling systemic problems and injustises

I’m not denying the game is rigged, but what’s your suggestion?
Skip to violence out of laziness or simply comply in advance?
