The core values of global democracy — what makes us different from authoritarian regimes — are the upholding of civil and human rights, rule of law, & equal protection of all people. That's why the US cannot in good conscience allow our resources to enable a mass famine in Gaza.

China couldn't have put it better in its response to the US veto at the UN: "Condoning the continuation of fighting while claiming to care about the lives and safety of people in Gaza is self-contradictory. Condoning the continuation of fighting while advocating for the prevention of spillover effects of the conflict is self-deceiving. Condoning the continuation of fighting while making reference to the protection of women, children and human rights is hypocritical. All these once again show us what double standards are."

Marco Rubio discovers the value of the UN and international law. However, international law is about mutual constraints as each state accepts restraints on itself and in return gets reciprocity. The post-Cold War era was not good for international law as an unbalanced hegemon will not constrain itself. After the Cold War, the US and NATO pushed ideas like "democracy promotion", "humanitarian interventionism", "global war on terror" etc. The idea of these rules were consistent with that of a hegemonic rule - no constraints on the hegemon vs constraints for others, sovereignty for the hegemon and limited sovereignty for the rest. Now that a multipolar balance of power asserts itself, the former hegemon must accept the principle of mutual constraints and sovereign equality. The US continously attacks other countries and it kidnaps, assassinates, and topples other world leaders. If it wants others to follow international law, then it must also accept to be constrained by international law. The hegemonic era is over.
