    that’s what happens with mines and it’s why they’re not fucking legal at all. you need a bunch of giant rats to help comb the land and they still blow farmers arms off 30 years later. imagine if they were fucking underwater

            at least the Hague and the UN and a third one that I actually haven’t heard of before. That’s what defines international law right?

              Pretending for a second that international law really exists, it is defined by international treaties. In this case, it would be UNCLOS.

                yea UNCLOS and LOAC too it’s illegal as fuck according to all of those.

                if international law doesn’t exist and national law doesn’t exist and law doesn’t exist then why even talk about any of this? do I even exist? is money real? fuck, it’s like time is just numbers man

                  Who said national law doesn’t exist? You break national law, decent chance you end up in prison. That’s real enough, even if not perfect. But what happens when you break international law? 99% of the time, nothing. And in the rare cases something does happen, it’s usually not really because of the law. It’s because countries have incentives independent of the law that make them enforce it. Often, the enforcement being illegal as well. That’s not really law, that is a bunch of outlaws shouting at each other with pipes in their hands, threatning each other.
