    Identity politics is intricate, with profound effects on norms, values, and decision-making. Internationally, we’ve upheld the ethical principle that states and political actors must adhere to the rule of law and confront their past, including ethical and human rights violations.

    However, in recent years, these ethical standards have come under attack from far-right discourse, and they’re poised to shift the international norm.

    Given this, why do we anticipate that far-right proponents, with their polemical worldview, would navigate such a complex matter? Their design is fundamentally against complexity, seeking to undermine the very foundations of modern culture.
