As you truly say, "the individual as a human being is not recognized by what is called 'international law'." Nor is international law recognized by the individual. Whence cometh this thing called international law? By what right do governments establish relations with each other? Can the citizens, even if they would, delegate to their national government the power to intervene in the affairs of another or compromise its sovereignty? The power to establish diplomatic relations is not and cannot be delegated; therefore international law is beyond all law, in the democratic sense.

I see no need for international relations, and I am sure there is no demand for it, except from special interests that have no respect for the rights of others. It is the provocateur of war. "A decent respect for the opinions of mankind" dictates that no national government have any opinions or policies pertaining to the affairs of other governments or peoples. The conscience and culture of one people should be allowed to react directly upon other people without the intervention of governments. The urge for world government, whether its advocates realize it or not, is an effort to abolish international relations. Is it the shortest way?
