Sadly, the UN, UN charter, Geneva convention, etc all effectively toast.
personally i regret that rather than celebrate. but idea of a rules and rights based global order increasingly seems a bit historic / quaint now, a comfort that baby boomers and millennials enjoyed while it lasted but now abandoned. (although, stating the obvious, folk in some countries enjoyed it way more than peeps in some other countries.)
mid 21st century looks like being pretty cold and nasty, with such a resurgence of autocracy, fascism and outright unapologetic racism.
