Rules Based Order (RBO) versus Folkerett og Internasjonal rett - Hva vil USA med RBO?

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  21 February 2023

 John Dugard:
The choice before us: International law or a ‘rules-based international order’?

Her diskuterer John Dugard det president Biden skrev i 2022 om saken, da gjaldt det krigen i Ukraina.
Han introduserer slik:
"1. Introduction

On 2 June 2022 President Biden published an op-ed in the New York Times titled ‘How the US is willing to help Ukraine’ in which he declared that Russia’s action in Ukraine ‘could mark the end of the rules-based international order and open the door to aggression elsewhere, with catastrophic consequences the world over’.Footnote 1 There is no mention of international law. Later, in a press conference at the conclusion of the June 2022 NATO Summit Meeting in Madrid, he warned both Russia and China that the democracies of the world would ‘defend the rules-based order’ (RBO).Footnote 2 Again, there is no mention of international law. On 12 October 2022 the US President published a National Security Strategy which makes repeated reference to the RBO as the ‘foundation of global peace and prosperity,’Footnote 3 with only passing reference to international law.Footnote 4 The term ‘rules-based order’ is so frequently used by American political leaders, such as President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, that, according to Professor Stephen Walt of the Kennedy School of Harvard University, it ‘seems to have become a job requirement for a top position in the US foreign policy apparatus’.Footnote 5 The clear inference to be drawn from this is that the failure to invoke international law and instead to appeal on most occasions to a ‘rules-based international order’ on the part of the United States is considered and deliberate.Footnote 6

What is this creature, the ‘rules-based international order’, that American political leaders have increasingly invoked since the end of the Cold War instead of international law? Is it a harmless synonym for international law, as suggested by European leaders? Or is it something else, a system meant to replace international law which has governed the behaviour of states for over 500 years?"

Ja, hva betyr dette begrepet som USA bruker: Rules Based Order?

Dette diskuteres av Bertrand Arnaud på Twittter 13. november 2023, se Kilde.
Og han følger opp den 29. januar (på Twitter,se Kilde) i lys av:
- ICJ-dommen
- UNRWA-behandlingen av donorer

Arnaud skriver 29. januar:
"I've been saying since the start of the war on Gaza that one key - if not THE key - prism through which one should read the conflict is that it's a fight between America's "rules-based order" and international law (see my original post) twitter.com/RnaudBertrand/
Sadly, since then events have gradually confirmed this, culminating in the recent cancellation of UNRWA funding by the collective West - led by the US - which is the starkest and most cynical confirmation that this prism is unfortunately correct."

Et videre utdrag: 

"Yet that's exactly what they did. A mere few hours after the ICJ ruling they cut UNRWA's funding. I believe that as of this writing we're at 10 Western states having done so, with the US having initiated the move, followed by its henchmen. So in effect we have proponents of the "rules-based order" yet again in a frontal assault against international law."

Det USA-ledede angrepet på UNRWA, straks ICJ-dommen var klar, er egentlig et sterkt angrep på ICJ.
ICJ- dommerne skal forstå hva som gjelder i praksis.

USA ved president Bush har tidligere  "angrepet ICC" ved loven som kalles "Invade Hague Act" fra august 2002, se Kilde.

Konklusjonen må bli:
Ifølge USA skal dommerne i Haag, både ICJ og ICC vise respekt for USA.
