Description
Summary:In an address at the 89th annual meeting of the American Society of International Law, the US ambassador to the United Nations said that the need to continue codifying international law is apparent. An even greater challenge, however, is enforcement of international law. Effective enforcement depends less on what institutions do than on what the members of those institutions have the will to do. Peacekeeping troops and economic sanctions are 2 valuable enforcement tools.
