What kind of international law can we expect in the future? A law that is constantly broken by various maleficent actors? Of course we've heard them complain that the current order is run by the west and harmful to others. What are the alternatives? A hundred cables?

> According to Johnson the US has never endorsed the ICC because it's a "direct affront to our own sovereignty. [...] We don't put any international body above American sovereignty and Israel doesn't do that either," he added.

God I have developed such a distaste for political opinions. Everyone thinks they're right and everyone sees the various maleficent actors in others.

"constantly broken by various maleficent actors" is a pretty good description of the past of international law. There is no reason to expect the future to be any different.

"Real" international law would require a sovereign international government that is more powerful than any singular nation.

You need to construct an entity that both the US and China make themselves fully subservient to.

Good luck.
