      Well yeah, everything gets complicated when ‘laws’ come with unwritten provisos such that they don’t have enforcement except when major powers want to enforce them so they effectively only apply to certain countries

      Unfortunately, ‘complicated’ seems to provide unwarranted respectability when ‘toothless’ and ‘dysfunctional’ would suffice
