In today’s borderless world, there are considerable international interactions at various levels. The difference in the value systems and diversity makes ethics in international relations imperative. Ethics works by granting and withdrawing legitimacy.
History shows that the mitigation and cessation of unjust practices ultimately comes from the assertion of core values.

Ditto for communism: the Soviet Union collapsed when the values that held it together were no longer credible and sustainable. Its legitimacy evaporated.
