The Australian PM? Why? Can you add some context for those of us who live under a rock?

International law? They give Nobel prizes for writing fiction?

If it is fiction why do war criminals like Putin still pretend to act according to it?

Because we live by stories, preferably those in which we think we are the good guys. People like Putin know that and use it to their own advantage.

Social construct not fiction. International law is just as made up as any other laws, and all countries respect at least some of it even if there's no central enforcement mechanism.

Or I'm misunderstanding your comment and you believe fiction and social constructs are one and the same, and maybe more real than the physical world. I could get behind that.
