IDF vs Hamas naval commando

You still don't get it.

The power to enforce the law is the foundation of all legal systems. The authority to create laws is assigned to a legislative body to streamline the process, but the bottom line is still the gun.

When Sweden's government passes a law, here's the fine print: "the Swedish government, law enforcement, and, worst case, the Swedish military, are prepared to enforce this law. Either follow it or be prepared to face the consequences."

Yes, that is obvious, and does not change what I said.

If I am a powerful country, I can withdraw from the UN and create my own parallel body. Using my guns, checkbook, and shared interests with like-minded countries, we can create our own set of laws to declare anything we like as illegal. Moreover, we can declare the UN illegal, nullifying ALL its laws and resolutions.

Once again, bottom line, if you have the guns (and they money) you can set up your own legal framework.

Yes, that is entirely possible. Countries can decide to withdraw from conventions, at least in some cases.
Any such sets of laws would not be legal outside the group of Nations.
This is a totally unrealistic scenario anyway.

What You cannot do is to continue within the UN framework
and create law within that framework on your own.

The US cannot create a single convention which is accepted outside the US if
they do not get acceptance by other countries.

It confirms what I have been saying that the ultimate foundation of a legal framework is the military might to enforce it.

Claiming something is "legal" is only as good as your ability to enforce it.

It is not unrealistic at all.

Do you know about the League of Nations that preceded the current UN?
Do you know how the UN was formed?
What law of nature says it can't be done again?

And I beg to disagree, and have given the reasons why.
