So, what you're saying is, international law should be superceded by domestic law?

[-] Badass_panda@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's how it normally works, yes... particularly if the country in question is not a signatory to the 'international law' in question.

[-] zephyreks@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Perfect. I'll let China and Russia know.

That they can issue court orders to companies that do business in their territory?

They ... they know...

That domestic policy supercedes international law? That's literally been the entire argument for sanctions against China: that their domestic policy violates international law and that under the rules-based international order someone needs to do something about it.

Sorry I am finding it very difficult to follow your argument.

Can you explain what "international law" you believe US sanctions to have broken?

[-] zephyreks@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Other way around: the US is projecting international law on domestic issues that, as we've already established, should be governed by domestic policy before falling to international law.

As we've already established, condemnation and punitive actions against a country for unilateral domestic policy decisions doesn't make sense, even if they are in violation of international law.

Bro I've been on roundabouts less circular than your logic

[-] zephyreks@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

🤷‍♀️ I've been on some pretty non circular roundabouts too
