00:00We must be unequivocal.
00:02The Court's decisions, including provisional measures,
00:05are binding on the parties to a case.
00:08Respect for those decisions is not optional.
00:12It is a charter obligation.
00:14Yet today, violations of international law
00:17are unfolding before our eyes.
00:20The rules of international law
00:22that protect the United Nations itself are violated.
00:25The institutions created to provide justice
00:28this one and others
00:30are increasingly questioned and challenged.
00:34And this erosion is not happening
00:36at the margins of the international system.
00:39It is happening at its core,
00:41including by states entrusted with unique responsibilities
00:45for the maintenance of international peace and security.
