CIROL

CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL RULE OF LAW

Restoring integrity to international law.

War on Law

The Weaponization of the International Legal System

International law is being weaponized by malign, anti-Western actors in the form of “trusted” organizations and political figures misstating the application of the law.

Hostile regimes, captured NGOs, and anti-Democratic figures distort the law in order to delegitimize democratic nations, and their distortions are accepted as undisputed fact by the global community.

Misinformation about international law is shaping policy, global media and public opinion, fundamentally altering strategic outcomes and fostering anti-Western sentiment. We stand to correct the record.

The Core Problem

The intentional misapplication of international law serves as a tool for asymmetric warfare, bypassing military confrontation to erode the legitimacy of nation states.
