BARBER: The biggest lie in global politics is the ‘Rules-Based International Order’

The legal system in developed countries has, in short, two key aspects that make it function: a structure for adjudicating legal disputes and a robust enforcement mechanism. If a person is suspected of violating a law, there is a detailed process for summoning that person to court. If they refuse to comply with a court order, police are dispatched to enforce it. On the other hand, if courts decline to prosecute violations or police choose not to execute court orders, the law effectively ceases to exist. Politicians and civic organizations may condemn violations, demand action, and hold meetings, but such rhetoric becomes meaningless when the institutions are unwilling to act. We have seen this dynamic play out in some US cities in recent years. Rules are followed only when they are enforced — and enforcement may require the credible threat or use of force.
