In the Jo/Jinping France/Germany example, there is a typo. The sentence "But under the principle of subjective territoriality, Germany can prosecute Joe as well" should read "But under the principle of OBJECTIVE territoriality, Germany can prosecute Joe as well"
The problem with international law is that it only works on countries who play by it. Authoritarian countries can do whatever they want and there's nothing you can do about it unless you start a war with them. So with authoritarian countries, the free world must completely isolate them or else they have lopsided advantage over gentlemen countries.
