Those who still argue in favour of an international order based on international law seem unprepared for a world of autocrats and transactional deals. Allegedly, they fail to realize the need to protect and prioritize national interests. International legal practices are even perceived as immoral when authoritarian states rely on international law to oppose foreign policy decisions of democratic states, as exemplified by recent proceedings before international courts on the war in Gaza. For a long time, international law was almost idealized in German debates, but now something seems to be shifting.
