7:25 The idea that 'might makes right' isn't a thing is a nice idea, but at the end of the day it all comes down to subjective international recognition. If Germany invades the Czech Republic and the rest of the world recognises that as being part of Germany, then hey presto, Germany got away with it. Same thing for the PRC annexing Tibet or Israel annexing the Golan Heights or North Vietnam annexing South Vietnam. 'Might' can be used to change a de facto situation, and the biased, subjective nature of de jure international law often then accommodates this. Case and point; when in 1979 the USA de-recognised Taiwan in order to recognise the ascendent PRC when it became geopolitically advantageous to do so. It all depends on the subjective interests of the third-part observer nation, and basically nothing to do with 'justice'.
