Advisory Committee: cabinet is 'inconsistent' and does not speak the 'language of international law'

The Advisory Committee on International Law criticizes the Dutch government for its inconsistent stance on international law, undermining its effectiveness. The committee highlights a shift in the government's approach, noting that it has shown understanding for U.S. military actions without condemning them. This inconsistency is seen as damaging to the Netherlands' interests and its historical role in promoting international law. The committee urges the government to reaffirm its commitment to international law and to build coalitions with other nations to strengthen it, especially as the U.S. steps back from its role as a protector of the international order.
