Kidnapping world leaders? Britain, the US and the collapse of international law

A controversial statement by the UK defence secretary, saying he would kidnap Vladimir Putin, has ignited a debate about diplomacy, sovereignty, and international law.

Speaking to RT, journalist Martin Jay argues that Western powers have long treated international law as optional, abusing it when convenient and ignoring it when not. From U.S. actions abroad to threats against international courts in The Hague, Jay says the hypocrisy is becoming impossible to hide.
