Order Paper NowThe first article analyzes the enforcement of international law in U.S. courts (the most easily accessed for U.S. citizens living domestically). With direct private rights of actions in domestic courts having been called into question, what is the best way for the domestic court to allow treaties to be used? The authors describe three methods: indirect enforcement, defensive enforcement, and interpretive enforcement. The second article discusses the enforcement, or lack thereof, of international law on an international scale.
