IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN THE UNIT...

Even though the Constitution proclaims treaties entered into by the United States to be part of
the supreme law of the land and authorises prosecution of offences against the law of nation in
federal courts  the United States has had a checkered record in ratifying human rights
instruments  in upholding decisions of international tribunals  and indeed in submitting itself
to the jurisdiction of such tribunals. It refused to uphold judgments of the International
Court of Justice within its municipal legal system  terminated the competence of the ICJ to
adjudicate international disputes to which it is a party  and attempted to undermine the
functioning of the international criminal court. It engaged in armed conflicts in blatant
violation of international humanitarian law and subjected belligerent detainees to unbecoming
interrogation techniques. There are clear indications that the Obama administration is setting
the United States on a new course of international comity and Völkerrechtsfreundlichkeit.
