    It doesn’t matter if the argument is in good faith, or not. The issue is either nations abide by rule of law, and adjust as necessary, or not. For example, torture being reclassified under GW Bush administration as “enhanced interrogation.” By any good faith reasoning, it was torture, but the AG Yoo authorized it, so technically by the USA, it was within legal limits.

      America doing something wrong doesn’t mean it’s okay for other countries to do that thing as well.

        No one said it does; it was an example to illustrate the point, which seems was lost.
