All states in the contemporary world, including great powers, are compelled to justify their behavior according to legal rules and accepted norms. Essentially, the extent to which states follow their international obligations and accepted norms were founded following two key developments in European history (the Treaty of Westphalia, 1648 and the UN Charter of 1945). However, the development of international law and accepted norms has not compelled states to comply all the time. One argument for international law being ineffective is that international law reflects state interests and does not actually alter the behavior of states. The trend over the past 400 years has shown that states have been mostly compelled to justify their behavior according to legal rules and accepted norms.
