Because, in the older times, the LAWS were guaranteed by the Divine revelation, and a Last Judgment, be it Hell or Karmas. This is no more.
Since 18 c, the COMMON law is agreed by the people, for the people, and so on. Of course, the last lower-class person is not going to fix anything. Elites do!
And the AGREEMENTS among elites of different countries become the models by which ordinary people will rule their own personnal and social life.
After WW2, the Nuremberg trials, and the UNO, have set up a common law for 30 years. USSR and USA agreed to maintain a balance, Europe/UNO developed a Human-rights set of ethics, peoples got independent states, WITHIN such agreements
(France HAD TO free Algeria, Cuba could not be invaded… 1968-Prague remained in Moscow's zone…And later, Kabul cannot host terrorists, and Assad cannot use toxic gas)
NOW, IF PUTIN, OBAMA and others do not respect their engagements about UKRAINE, The meaning of commitment will be destroyed.
1/ extremists will find a justification to pure violence, and terror, instead of being limited by International diplomacy and laws.
2/ other countries will develop their own WEAPONRY, before feeling under any urgent menace (Click: «Four former Soviet satellites in Central Europe signed a military pact on Friday to coordinate defence planning and to create a joint combat unit to operate under NATO and European Union (EU) auspices, in response to the Ukraine crisis.»)
3/ Common ethics will fall down: if USA can sign a treaty which is worth nothing, I can sign any contract and cheat on it - Maffia rules!
THIS is what happened in the THIRTIES. They let Hitler do whatever he wanted, in violation of the 1919/20 treaties. Draft, arms, Czechoslovakia. Then, 20 millions deaths in Europe, and 60 in the whole world.
This is what COMMITMENT means.
- Article one of the agreement states that:
"The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine … to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine."
