It means with a great knowledge but limited by the given frame of argumentation. If observed from outside we could easily show first that given analysis need not be the right one and second that on the base of ill defined axioms no real solution can be obtained. Mr. Sandoz decided to exclude real reality by exclamative hope based on a profound faith in a concept of humanity in international civilisation structures. Roots of crisis in my opinion are more profound and differently located. The first is, that men overpassed in any respect human dimension and therefore they are both unable to rule entered areas and to carry responsability connected with such a huge and complex empire.
Globalisation is the final stage of that titanic megalomania.
The second is that hand in hand modern technical developments and liberal individualism marginalised cultural symbols and tabus and replaced them with fixed definitions of our civilisation. The general problem of any law nowadays is the basically, traditionally valid frame of decent behaviour is lost and laws should explicitly solve all and every particular case. Meanwhile is supposed to be universal. As to the validity of principles, it is indisputable that they are valid in the level of culture. At the level of civilisation at least the principe of neutrality is contradictory to the reality in genocide type conflicts.
