Hans J. Morgenthau on International Law - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 287
International Law/Morgenthau: because of the limited possibilities for sanctions, which according to Morgenthau are decisive for the social power of law, the effectiveness of international law is precarious. The governments of sovereign states will only make state sanction potentials available to international law if it corresponds to their interests. Even the United Nations Security Council is not able to overcome the non-central basic structure of international law, but rather to depict it in the narrowest space through the veto of the permanent members (1). International law is a weak law.
