There is No International Law, There is a Global Policeman

The article is a strong critique of the idea of international law, arguing that in reality there is a “global policeman” operating based on the power and interests of strong states. The author uses examples from Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, and Libya to demonstrate that international law is often blatantly violated by major powers, who impose their will through military interventions, political upheavals, and economic sanctions. It specifically refers to the case of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who were arrested, as well as the US interventions in Iraq, Syria, and Libya, where leaders were overthrown and countries were plunged into chaos. The author accuses the US of imperialist policies and supporting robbers and traitors, while emphasizing the inability of other states to resist American hegemony.
