MUST READ! Just as the US violates Venezuelan sovereignty, erodes the norm against the use of force, and leaves many with the impression that international law is useless, publishes a report that documents the tremendous value of international law: Since the UN Charter banned territorial conquest in 1945: - No UN member state has been permanently lost through conquest. - The amount of territory conquered per year has decreased by 95% - The probability of a state being conquered has dropped by 87% – from about once per human lifetime to once or twice per millennium. We won't fully appreciate it until we lose it - but we can't say that we haven't been warned. (This is why European leaders abandoning international law is so bewildering...) Link in next tweet:
