Part 5/15:
The ideology that nations could be governed through international courts and institutions based on universal rules is criticized as utopian and unrealistic. The speaker emphasizes that courts are inherently political, often serving power-players rather than justice.

For example, the corrupting influence of regimes like China and Iran within international bodies highlights their fundamental bias.
