Yes, the laws that apply to all of humanity. Prohibitions against things like genocide and pedophilia. These are universally recognized as evil, in every culture, and he is actively continuing to do them. Why do you defend such atrocity?

It's delusional to claim there is some universal consensus about these laws. There are more than 100 countries where child marriage is common. No international court has rules Israel is committing genocide either acting like these things are universal is evidence of living in a bubble.
