This is a well-meaning, but, IMO, a rather naive essay on the rule of law in relation to the Empire's wars. Like politics, laws at the international level are simply war by another means. Such laws and legal systems are devised by the powerful to advance their interests and to negate the interests of their adversaries. This will remain so until all hierarchical class systems are abolished.
The people of the Empire are growing weary of the current wars, dissent is growing while their economies are declining. Only active, organized working people all over the world can bring peace.
