"...but there is no general will and no enforcer at the global level. Simply proclaiming acts illegal has no moral or legal force in international relations."

So the lack of robust institutions makes the idea silly? What a strange position for a "progressive" person to take. And it's also technically wrong, as well as politically awful, to pooh-pooh international law like this. There is a U.N. Charter. There are treaties. There is a World Court. There are the Geneva Conventions. Those are laws. Laws can exist without cops.

We need world government!
