There Should Be a Droit Des Gens

I think there should be a “droit des gens” concerning stealing children from desperate poor people seeking asylum locking them in cages, raping them, and losing them. What is next? a reimplementation of “droit du seigneur?” less farfetched now than ever before. Droit des gens: French for International Law Droit du seigneur: French for the right of the acting czar to bed virgins of his country the night before their weddings.
