Summary:

This Book addresses the status of international law in American courts and the power of those courts to apply rules of international law. The Book contends that the current treatment of international law by U.S. courts, as it has developed over the past several decades, is gravely flawed. That treatment is contrary to the Constitution’s text, history and objectives, inconsistent with the treatment of international law by American courts for the 200 years following ratification, and inimical to the United States’ contemporary national interests. The Book also contends that there are readily available means for remedying these defects, by returning to the treatment of international law that was intended by the Framers, either through straightforward textual interpretation of the Constitution or through formulation of equally straightforward contemporary rules of federal common law.
