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.
afaik it is illegal to use them to block commercial waterways which connect two giant international bodies of water
Well, that is against UNCLOS, but while Iran signed it, they did not ratify it. So, kinda not really.
Illegal according to whom? There is no authority for the entire world.
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.
