Ex injuria jus non oritur
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Ex injuria jus non oritur (Latin for "law does not arise from injustice") is a principle of international law.[1] The phrase implies that "unjust acts cannot create law".[2] Its rival principle is ex factis jus oritur, in which the existence of facts creates law.[3]
