International Law in the U.S. Legal System

International Law in the U.S. Legal System explains how international law intersects with the domestic legal system within the United States, and points out various unresolved issues and areas of controversy. Curtis Bradley covers all of the principal forms of international law: treaties, decisions and orders of international institutions, customary international law, jus cogens norms, and general principles. He also explores a number of issues that are implicated by the intersection of U.S. law and international law, such as foreign sovereign immunity, international human rights litigation, extradition, and extraterritoriality. This book will highlight recent decisions and events relating to the topic (including decisions and events arising out of the war on terrorism), while also taking into account relevant historical materials, including materials relating to the U.S. Constitutional founding.Curtis Bradley is the author of 'International Law in the U.S. Legal System', published 2013 under ISBN 9780195328592 and ISBN 0195328590.
