Lecturer of public international Law

The International system established by Europe based on some criteria. The core is 'civilization'. According to the latter, Non-European societies were often seen as inferior, justifying colonialism. By dehumanizing other countries, and claiming superiority over others, the western white man committed genocide against indigenous people in America and Africa, and now in Gaza. Dehumanize refers to the act of treating someone with a lack of dignity. International law is one of the features of this system established by Europe. in fact, it is European international law, and humanity often mentioned in international convention means European humanity. The west won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.
