| Impact statement: This article responds to long-standing scepticism about whether international law is truly “law” and argues that, despite structural and functional limitations, international law remains both real and fair. It is important because it defends the continuing efficacy of international law while also considering its future role in a unipolar world. The article contributes to scholarship on legal theory and international governance by addressing doubts about enforceability, fairness, and relevance in contemporary international relations. | Collaboration: None | Keywords: international law, legal theory, efficacy of international law, fairness, scepticism, unipolar world, international governance |
