Respect for international law --- Thanks Kylea and Crys. While we speak of respect for international law, it's important to see this in the context of the way States - virtually all of them - like to speak of the importance of the "rules-based" international system. Law is at the heart of this, but as is the case in domestic legal situations there is often plenty of room for argument as to what these rules say and mean. HDiplomats will be watching this debate and finding meaning in rules which strengthen humanitarian solutions.
