    Like any other part of international law, it's mostly just a rule that is kept as long as it's convenient for the real powers. If you start looking at it as a natural law of the universe, it falls apart pretty quickly, so instead try to think of it as an american traffic law instead. It theoretically applies to everyone, however de facto it doesn't.
