The Perils of Ignoring International Law

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | March 22, 2008 - 10:26

Recently, the IntLawGrrls blog featured Prof. Mary Ellen O’Connell’s observations on the anniversary of the Iraq invasion, who notes that “[f]ive years on, the most tangible lesson of Iraq is that our nation ignores international law at its peril.” Prof. O’Connell points out that the U.S. has ignored provisions of the U.N. Charter on the use of force, as well as the Geneva Conventions on the humane treatment of detainees. Full post here. Prof. O’Connell also has an op-ed on the topic at Jurist.
