Had the leaders of the world shown the desired respect and regard for international law, the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine–Russia would not have occurred. Flagrant and persistent violations of international law require some soul-searching among the nations and also a continued international scrutiny of violations of international law and international humanitarian law as we see in Gaza. The violators and war-criminals must not go unpunished. humanity needs peaceful, respectful and law-abiding nations, not belligerent, usurping and transgressing nations who are always ready to wage wars and shed the blood of innocent people.
