      To put it in simple terms, I guess politics has been said to be engaging in taking care of our mutual interests. Laws are a set of rules, made to serve and guide all who partake in these political affairs with their various agendas.

      +Patrick Ilmoni I would like to add that I personally I regard law as something that can be enforced. The enforceability of international law is very very questionable. To put it in simple terms, international law isn't really law, it's merely politics.

    • @louisaheathcote8684
      @louisaheathcote8684 Před 8 lety +2

      +Ferdy Achmad Razzaaq My professor always says politics and law are like Siamese twins that hate each other. Neither can exist without the other but they are both a hindrance to one other. Law, according to the Oxford dictionary, means: "The system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties." Whereas politics is the science of government; the art or practice of administering public affairs.

      you can't talk about politcs and law as a differnt things or for can explain something in reverse sense , for can make different meaning between politcs and law , you have to use the words NO politcs and NO law, but you can't use them as differnt things because they are very closer. :D words of Morgentau.

    Dears, let me explain something to you about “International Law". This law assumes that all nations have to follow certain rules, except US. Current international law stipulates that:
    1. Any nation can invade other countries, overthrow regimes, kill civilians with all types of warfare, commit war crimes, if this nation is either US itself or blessed by the US. All such actions are considered fully appropriate and legal.
    2. Any action by any country, organization or individual on Earth is considered illegal if it interferes with American interests.
    3. Any country, which is inline with American interests, is considered "good" and "democratic". Those that are not inline considered "bad", "non-democratic", "dictatorship" etc and subject to regime change.
    3. Any country rich of natural resources is by definition in the sphere of American interests. Such countries must be aligned to US policies or they are at risk of political, economical and military sanctions from the US and its allies.
    Becoming US ally should be the ultimate goal of every nation. Any country is considered “US ally’ if it actively, persistently and unconditionally support all US policies and US interests. However, the honorable title of "US ally" does not protect such country from US legal actions based on the Article #2 of this Law.
    4. If history of any nation is not inline with American interests it must be re-written or forgotten. All countries must adopt US version of history, otherwise they can never become "US ally". Beware, countries, it is one step from ‘good democracy" to "evil dictatorship" here.
    5. Any event happening on Earth must be endorsed by CNN, FoxNews and MSNBC and few others trusted by proper Americans. If it is not endorsed than it is considered "fake event". Any documents, evidences, leads etc not endorsed by these media are also considered "fake". If any nation tries to present such materials anywhere in the world it is considered illegal action (see Article #2).
    6. All countries must accept dollar as the most trusted and reliable currency and exchange their goods and natural resources for dollars without any limit. Any country having slightest concern about this Article are automatically violating the Article #2 and will face grave consequences.
    7. US has the right, on any reason or without such, detain and imprison any individual on Earth and do whatever she likes with him or her in case if this individual is recognized by US government as violating the Article #2 or being connected to such violation in any extent.

    Politics must be subordinate to law. If it is not, then people will be subjected to a pendulum of chaos whose arc swings ever wider. Politics is largely the art of the irrational. It seeks to maximize the most monstrously illogical human tendencies to serve the agenda of those seeking power. Law provides a higher level to which all intelligent and sensible people must aspire. Otherwise, irrationality is prone to tear societies apart.

    • @Pedrosdanckwardt
      @Pedrosdanckwardt Před 3 lety +2

      The whole point of Koskenniemi's lecture is that law cannot be delineated from politics. So, law is politics, and politics is law. The question is how to make sense of the relationship between the two.

    • @automan1591
      @automan1591 Před 2 lety

      @@Pedrosdanckwardt I agree. But I think the relationship is clearly most often characterized by the reframing of politics as law. See, for instance, his cryptic closing remarks.
