Rules-based international order is an order based on Hypocrisy and Double Standards!
I = US and West //// You = Others
I can produce and export arms to protect the “national security” and “regional and international peace and Security”, but you cannot and if you do, it would be an “arms smuggling” and a “destabilizing act to international peace and security”;
I can support and provide arms to other countries to end the occupation, but you cannot support other groups and countries to end mine or my ally occupations and if you support or provide, it would be qualified as “assisting terrorist groups”;
Now,Everywhere in the World,Palestine has Supporters.
I can have military humanitarian intervention (or R2P) to liberate other nations from serious violation of HR and IHR, but you cannot and if you do, it would be an “unlawful foreign intervention”;
I can support the so-called movements and opposition groups in other countries in their fights against the tyrannies, but you cannot and if you do, it would be “supporting terrorism”. Those that I am supporting are “freedom fighters”, but those you are supporting are “terrorists”!
I can threaten or use force against other counties and is justified under the “legitimate self-defense”, but you cannot and if you exercise your rights it would be an “act of aggression” and I will sanction you;
I can take several national measures to “restore public order” in my country, including via shouting against protesters, but you cannot and if you do, it would be an “internal suppression”. Attacking civilians is permitted in certain circumestance for “military purposes”!;
I can prosecute and punish those that are responsible for international crimes, but you cannot and if you follow, you are endangering the peace process and violating the immunities. My soldiers and officials as well as those of my friends have absolute impunity and I will even sanction the international judges!; and
I can suspend implementation of international agreements and treaties based on claims of human rights violations, or other pretexts, but you cannot and if you do, you disregard pacta sunt servanda, and you should be sanctioned and held accountable.
The world cannot be governed as such! This is not a “ruled based international order”, but a “hypocrisy based international order”.
In such an order, there is no other option than self-help!
International community can achieve genuine order and lasting peace, if the US and the West (the self-proclaimed champion of IL and HR) admit their failures in Palestine in the past 200 days and truly, not hypocritically, respect the International Law.
