<<International law is not "law" at all. It is a system of treaties, conventions, precedents and other commitments over many years by which governments have attempted to limit war, keep the peace and adjudicate their conflicting claims and interests to their mutual advantage and security.
It is not law because no authority issues it. No one enforces it, other than through cooperative action among nations. The United States has, during its two and a quarter centuries of existence, been one of the nations most active in building up the structure of international law that the Bush administration now is engaged in knocking down. The Charter of the United Nations is one of the principal existing agreements making up international law and was drafted largely by the United States. The "threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state" is outlawed by the charter, and "preemptive" war was specifically treated as a war crime at the Nuremberg trials.>>
