Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong: The protection provided by international law and multilateral rules is weakening.

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong warned that the protection provided by international law and multilateral rules is weakening. "Countries feel that the constraints of the rules are decreasing and are more inclined to take action when they are strong," he said. "Small and medium-sized countries feel this most strongly. But even large countries will find that a world where the strong do as they wish is ultimately more dangerous for everyone."
