We just witnessed power kidnapping the law

"Power has displaced law, preference has replaced principle and force has been presented as virtue. This is not the defence of the international order. It is its quiet execution. When a state kidnaps the law to justify kidnapping a leader, it does not uphold order. It advertises contempt for it."

Ziyad Motala

Professor of law at Howard University School of Law.
