This is what happens when international law is completely ignored. German discourse is distilled here in all its intellectual and ethical failure, exemplified by "wie denn auch?!", an embarrassing admission of ignorance that replaces critical enquiry.

A reminder not only of the flaws in international law, but of how its treaties and conventions are all a product of their time, in this case the postwar era. Is the Genocide Convention actually working just as its drafters intended, privileging state sovereignty in armed conflict above all else?
