People follow it by agreement and the idea is they face sanctions if they don't. It's unlikely America will face direct sanctions. However they are unlikely to find many friendly partners moving forward. The more heinous acts, the less other countries can overlook it.
It's not just USA. The more countries that skirt international law, the more others also do the same and the less others listen to America. Putin doesn't care about international law when invading Ukraine. Then china stops caring about consequences for invading Taiwan etc.
It's stuff like this that makes the international community more afraid of Trump. The grifting and grafting is an internal problem. The fascism is a humanity problem. The breakdown in rule of law is a global problem.
Before the USA, it was enabled by the British. Also all those western countries quickly recognized israel after terrorists attacks by zionists like King David hotel bombing and the nekba ethenic cleansing while today they have ton of conditions to effectively on the ground to back up a two state solution without even palestinians right to an army
Palestine is recognised by over 80% of UN States including all permanent security members except the USA. The biggest two Western countries that don't recognise are Germany and Italy along with of course Israel.
It's not really such an important thing. The impact would be for the USA to stop their support and for the EU to end their trade deal with Israel.
The people who make up the Trump administration are directly responsible for millions of people dying through their malice and ineptitude. They are guilty of genocide, war crimes, and general crimes against humanity.
Doesn't it? I am pretty sure they have authority over everyone. US and other non signatories just do not have to hand them over. But if they ever visit a signatory state, they should be arrested.
Venezuela can't defend itself against the US. The US has been very good at keeping South America in check. They are basically all vassals to the US. The moment someone gets out of line the CIA shows up for regime change.
The white elephant in the room is the US military holding the entire world hostage.
That's because Trump made a deal with the devil for immunity from all consequences. The devil didn't realize it would mean there were also no consequences for Trump for making the deal
Issue an international arrest warrant for the entire administration please. They are literally manufacturing another Native American genocide and we need the world to help us stop this madness.
Can the UN even do anything to the United States if they have a unilateral security council veto? I would think that the USA would successfully find a way to argue that sanctioning them for crimes against humanity is not considered a "procedural" decision.
countries need to start making treaties about military spending and isolate ones that spend over an agreed upon maximum plus have checks for hidden spending.

Which global government enforces international law? Ah that’s right, there is none. Might as well say it violates galactic or universal law.

So declare him a war criminal, and arrest him anytime he leaves America.
That's why George W Bush can't leave the country. He's wanted everywhere in the world as a war criminal.

In theory, they do, but the US not only doesn't recognise the authority of the ICC, they have provisions for a military invasion of the Hague/Netherlands if a member of the US armed forces is tried in the ICC.

All those western countries who was saying israel has to defend itself. Why are you not saying Venezuela has the right to defend itself?

Venezuela can't defend itself against the US. The US has been very good at keeping South America in check. They are basically all vassals to the US. The moment someone gets out of line the CIA shows up for regime change.

no

the "don't do that" button does, quite effectively, prevent the UN from doing anything, and for some godforsaken reason 5 countries all have one
they don't need to do that, that's what the "don't do that" button is for
