Mayhem Brexit - The silence about International Law

UKExit ("Brexit") requires an unprecedented, fundamental and radical set of changes in the United Kingdom's international relationships.

International relationships, at least the parts that are legally effective, are created in International Law.

One of the startling failures of the whole UKExit ("Brexit") process is the failure properly to consider the effect of International Law on the process of UKExit.

If you revisit David Cameron's Bloomberg speech of January 2013 you will search in vain for a mention of the constraints imposed by International Law.

If you review Theresa May's various set-piece speeches on UKExit, they are similarly silent on the limitations imposed by International Law on the United Kingdom's supposed freedom of manoeuvre.

Likewise Boris Johnson's incessant infantile incompetence on UKExit is also a zone free from serious consideration of the constraints of International Law.

The fundamental failures of approach of three successive Conservative UK Prime Ministers are at the root of Mayhem Brexit.
