By Sardar Khan NiaziIn international politics, the most dangerous wars are not those fought in self-defense but those launched by choice. This framework was designed precisely to prevent powerful states from imposing their will on weaker ones. States far removed from the immediate conflict may still find themselves dealing with its consequences. If the international order is to survive, its rules must apply even to the most powerful states. Anything less invites a future where restraint disappears — and where the next war of choice may prove far more devastating than the last.
