The problem with international law is that it is very hard to police, and very hard to punish law breakers. Especially when the nations involved happen to be some of the most powerful nations in the world.
The fact of the matter is that most countries have in the past, or will in the future, break international law. International laws have about as much effect on a country's policies as an ASBO on a youth-criminal (I couldn't think of the proper term).
