What do you base that on?

Should international law depend on what people think? In every situation, we can find people who think all sorts of things. I think law works better when it's based on fair rules.
I don't think a large population gives anyone the right seize territory from others. I think that's an awful idea, and i can't think of one legal principle that agrees. Should the US get to seize parts of Canada? China parts of Russia?
- Nomentatus 8y agoCircling - as said above I base that on not knowing any alternative. Should we listen to what you think? I think even I get an opinion and fairness that ignores numbers needs some justification. Seizing is a different topic - I was the one who said following the seizing small islands theory of sea law was a bad idea, remember?
