@davidallengreen points out that when we think about how international law is faring in the current global political situation, there's a big difference between compliance & enforcement.... while (as Harold Koh famously pointed out) most countries follow international law most of the time, when a state chooses not to (or even to acknowledge its salience) we find ourselves in a world where sovereign self-restraint has (dangerously) evaporated!
