Clearly international law is not applied equally to all countries. The distribution of atomic weapons, the forcible removal of governments we do not approve of and the recent merciless punishment of Lebanese people by the regional superpower, on the flimsiest of resons, are clear proofs of it.
There was of course a time when a country's laws also were not meant to apply equally to all citizens, but after many upheavals and revolutions, we have gone past that.
Would it be better for international relations to carry on with the present notion that might is right, and continue paying the cost in lives and money, or is it time to agree to have the same law and same rights for all?
