The third basic disagreement is that the US has repudiated the system of absolute state sovereignty that has governed international society since 1648, and is the basis of modern international law.

Well, there have been a lot of wars between nations since 1648, so the above comment (making it sounds like the US has changed the basis of the opaque, mysterious concept of international law) is a bunch of hogwash.

International law did not develop over night. It took centuries. By the mid/late 20th century, however, international law was firmly planted. Only corrupted, authoritarian gov'ts openly ignored or violated it.
