Kallas tells UN that impunity, not international law, is the central problem
The EU foreign policy chief argued that weak enforcement prevents international law from fulfilling its purpose.
European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told the United Nations General Assembly that failures in international law stem from inadequate enforcement rather than flaws in the law itself, according to Ukrinform.
Kallas argued that impunity is the central problem and said international rules cannot fulfill their intended function when there are no effective mechanisms to enforce them.
The supplied item does not provide the full speech or identify the specific conflicts or institutions she cited. Her statement is therefore presented as a general argument for stronger accountability and enforcement.
