02 LIBERALISM
 Although there were tensions and deep down there were
economic and geopolitical interests, this conflict was carried
out in a peaceful way and respecting international laws.

The conflict was at the hands of international organizations

and his trial was brought by the international court of justice
located in The Hague, thus complying with a principle of
liberalism.

A clear example of the opposite of how this conflict was

carried out is the war for the Maldives in which both
countries rose up in arms for a territory (an island) causing
deaths and sadness. War is more expensive than peace.
