The terms 'Christianity' and 'International Law', as well as their relationship to each other, are not easy to understand - at least where there might be consensus. The aim here is to diagnose the elusiveness of these phenomena, why this is important to understand, and to set the stage for further investigations. So why is it that we cannot come to a consensus about this phenomena, 'Christianity and International Law'? If you are inclined, pause a moment with this text and build a list of possible reasons... Some contrarians might answer that we actually do have a relative consensus, that most reasonable people, at least with the opportunity to learn, find common agreement over most things and whatever differences simply reflect the diversity, the spice, the irreducible uniqueness of individual personalities and cultures. Those who might criticize or denounce this consensus are simply acting in so-called bad faith, whether that is deliberate or misguided or some unintentional tick in their nature. In this scenario, 'we' have (faith in, understanding of) Christianity, 'they' would take it away or diminish it; 'we' respect (follow, obey, promote) international law, 'they' would ignore it or undermine its integrity"-- |
