    Isn’t making someone stateless a violation of international law?

    For fucks sake if we’re gonna have “international law” and have it mean something it has to mean absurdly strict punishments for things like this. If you make someone stateless, every person who approved that gets 20 years in prison. You signed the form? Prison. You brought the form to your boss down the hall to sign? Prison. You voted yes in a committee? Prison.

      That's why International Law is very much toothless unless it is to enforce empire or capital (like with the WTO and IP law), nobody would agree to have another country judge them for acting in their own fucked up self-interest.
