Why International Law is silly

The World Court recently ruled that Kossovo's declaration of independence did not violate international law.  Well, sort of.

Legal experts said that while the International Court of Justice  had ruled that Kosovo’s declaration of independence was legal, it had avoided saying that the state of Kosovo was legal under international law, a narrow and carefully calibrated compromise that they said could allow both sides to declare victory in a dispute that remains raw even 11 years after the war there.

After 11 years, they decide nothing.  A major "purpose" of International Law is to resolve disputes short of war, and here they failed.

And the whole this is just absurd.  If only the World Court had been a bit quicker with their decision, and released it on July 4th.  Or maybe delayed more until September 28th. Or April 19th.  You get the idea.  Independence is settled between peoples and nations, not in court rooms.
