I have always maintained that Great Powers exercise
their power when and where they can regardless of
morality or international laws/treaties so the best we
can hope for geopolitically is a balance of power..
That applies equally to the USA & Russia in this war.
Of course Israel recently rejected the ICC's charges
against its PM & Defence Minister simply because
it too is not a member of the ICC and it fancies
itself as a Great Power because it has a handful of Nukes.
So in summary, only members of the ICC recognise
international law in that they recognise the ICC as the
administrator of those laws and treaties.
