This question seems provocative only to those accustomed to viewing international institutions as unchanging stage scenery rather than living legal constructs subject to the same principles of logic and justice that underpin any legal system. In matters of this magnitude, nothing is impossible — there is only a lack of will and a lack of arguments. Diplomats will have to address the first; the second is what I will try to work through here.
