>You break the lock and steal something, you have broken the law.

Law enforcement at that scale is highly asymmetrical. Large powerful countries can act like bullies because "what are you gonna do about it?".

Yeah, we have the UN and international courts and what not, but those are toothless as without a superior power to act as the enforcer, they can wipe their ass with your laws, complaint or court ruling and do as they please anyway.
