Questionwhat is the purpose of public international law if there are no effective enforcement mechanisms to apply it? Maria KyriacouAnswer
Angaangaq Lyberth: Then there’s no public international law when there is no effective enforcement or mechanism to apply it. That is the simplest answer I can give you. We create many laws but few are being able to be implemented. It does not matter where you live on earth, there are laws in which the government are not implementing. They are just merely in books. It looks good in the books but they’re not being implemented. At the same time there are laws which are so aged, so old, so ineffective, but still they are in the books. And they’re not being implemented either. So I wonder do we need that many laws? Do we need to carry on the way we’ve been doing? I don’t know. What do you think? That we create laws internationally and there’s no one to implement them, when we cannot even implement the laws locally we have created. I wonder how we’re expecting that international law will be upheld when simple laws locally are not being implemented or followed. Can you help me answer the question? I hope so. I pray to the Great One it will be so. Thank you.
