I'm wondering if anyone else has had the chance to read Kofi Annan's report for reforming the U.N. (available at: http://www.un.org/largerfreedom/contents.htm). It is quite a bold statement and includes some very substantive proposals to change not only the Security Council, but the Commission on Human Rights as well. Among the many proposals that I found most interesting and worthy of

What impact does George Bush's re-election have on international law? Does it legitimize changes (if any) in international custom brought about by the Bush administration's approach to foreign policy and international law (i.e. preemption policies)? Are these changes permanent (Does the U.S. have such an impact on IL today?), or looking back, will they be viewed as deviations from accepted

The upcoming (Oct. 31) Presidential Elections in Ukraine are of very high significance. The entire world will be watching closely. The two frontrunners are very close in the polls, yet reflect very different visions of human rights, rule of law, and economic reform in Ukraine.

A non-exclusive list: 1. Comments are expected to reflect different points of view. Critiques of others' positions are to be expected, but those critiques should be of the argument, not the person. No insults. 2. It is unacceptable to call into question a poster's/commenter's value or intelligence. 3. The ILS Blog is not an ad agency.
