This timespan would be horribly long.
Let's better compare today to GDR's 40

"taken back to Ukraine" - that's why they got arrested in other EU countries. These prosecutors lie.
I would have been happy to see a real trial around this and the accusations dismissed.

Europe vs. despotism:
This Part I of my essay on the rule of law treats the historical roots of this concept. Part II will treat the international rule of law after 1945, part III its decline nowadays.

The peak of the international rules-based order, marked by the signing of the Rome Statute by the USA in 2000, was followed by its sudden decline or even collapse after 2000. This will be the theme of part III of my essay on the rule of law. 🧵

After 1990, the creation of special tribunals to prosecute atrocities like in Rwanda and ex Yugoslavia (1993, 1994) was revolutionary.
The establishment of a permanent International Criminal Court by the Rome Statute (1998) marked the peak of the international order.

Even in the best times of international law (1990-2000), the enforcement of international law has been difficult. There is no world police, and UN missions need a UN resolution and countries to provide troops. National institutions' cooperation is needed. 13/

Examples are the UN tribunal International Court of Justice, the WTO's appellate body and the ECHR. 12/

Though overlooked in public discourse, international trade law is also very important to protect states from being bullied or extorted. Tariffs, according to WTO rules, are to be applied EQUALLY. They may not be used as weapons or means of threat. Trump's tariffs are illegal. 11/

The European Court of Human Rights clearly sets standards across Europe even when national courts fail to do so. Something like ICE would end up there in Europe, whatever national courts might be doing (or not doing). It is therefore that Reform UK etc. want to leave it. 10/

The Council of Europe, as opposed to the former, has been a Western values-based creation to uphold human rights across Europe. Its more principled stance is shown by the fact that Russia was excluded from it in 2022 due to the invasion of Ukraine. 8/

It is totally wrong to equal international rule of law with a "unipolar", "Western-dominated" or "liberal" order. These terms deflect from the fact that international rule of law protects the weak against the strong, right against might. The correct term is "rules-based order".3/
