"international law" is, i don't know how to say this quite right, largely for show

when both sides seem to be willing and eager to order, participate in, and cheer for atrocities from leadership to the common people... I don't want to take ideological sides or tally up crimes to decide who to root for in millennia old conflict mostly over a single city

it's a terrible shame for the people who want to live together in peace, clearly there are not enough of them

You'd need a body enforcing them and I'm not sure if we really want the one world government.
