Powerful nations
The recent ruling of the 'Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal', fashioned
after the historic Nuremberg Trial, that George Bush, Tony Blair, Dick Cheney , Donald Rumsfeld and others were guilty of the 'crimes against peace' has come as an eye-opener. However, as Thucydides would say, 'the strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept'. The powerful nations punish the violators of international law defined by them, and they are still capable of violating the same provisions when it comes to their interests.
