It's interesting how well the international system works when people aren't busy sabotaging it.

Malaysia and Singapore just settled this international dispute in court, and everyone seems happy.

I think the main reason that countries such as the US or China don't support international courts and authorities is because they don't want to be held responsible for the transgressions they know they've committed.

You have to admit, America has come to demand a certain kind of exceptionalism, placing ourselves above the law by virtue of our own self-aggrandizement. Restoring America's international reputation will begin with ending this repugnant double standard that we hold for ourselves and the rest of the world.
