It never meant anything to the USA and other imperialists, it is regularly used to justify action against those outside the "international community"
The thing about justifications is that you can just make them up. There's no international law against hypocrisy.
International law only springs into existence when it's convenient for the "international community"
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?
Only tangibly related but
All laws are made up, no matter how much your try force authoritarian rule people will always have the the inherent freedom to oppose.
The sooner we realize the natural anarchy of individuals the sooner we can replace build in forced compliance with build in aligned mutual interests.
People who have no interest in “committing wrong” usually don't commit too many wrongs.
