What is the limits of international law?Show answer
International law sets norms but struggles to enforce them. There is no global police force, courts such as the International Criminal Court depend on state cooperation and lack their own enforcement, and major powers often stand outside key institutions. Law can shape expectations and confer legitimacy, but it cannot compel a determined state, so the gap between commitment and compliance is wide.
What are the nature of the crises themselves?Show answer
Some obstacles lie in the crises rather than the system. Asymmetric conflicts resist military solutions, the causes of crises outlast short-term responses, and problems such as displacement or radicalisation reproduce faster than responses can address them. Resources are finite, so attention and funding are stretched across many simultaneous crises.
