Henry Omorere
An interrogation of the rule of law in international order, exploring the fundamental contradiction between its normative promise of universal justice and its structural tendency to legitimize power imbalances, exploitation, and global inequality."
Core Conceptual Breakdown
Normative Ideal vs. Structural Reality: The rule of law promises equality before the law (Rex\ Lex), but international law relies on consent and enforcement mechanisms heavily weighted toward sovereign power (e.g., the UN Security Council veto).
Legitimization of Hegemony: Critical legal theories (such as TWAIL—Third World Approaches to International Law) argue that international law does not merely fail to stop exploitation; it actively provides the legal vocabulary and framework to normalize it.
The Validity Paradox: When a legal order consistently protects powerful actors while sanctioning weaker ones, it undermines the very claim of legal universality, threatening its own systemic legitimacy.
Henry Omorere, 2026
