Abstract

The article "International Law Follows Power, Not Vice Versa" by Bruce Fein discusses how international law is often shaped by power dynamics rather than principles of justice. The author highlights historical examples, such as the Nuremberg Tribunal, to illustrate how powerful nations have avoided prosecution for war crimes. The article also addresses the selective enforcement of international law, particularly in cases of aggression and genocide, where powerful nations often escape accountability. Ultimately, the author questions the effectiveness of international law in holding powerful nations to account for their actions. [Extracted from the article]
