The role of the US in the international system was already a virulent question before the third Iraq war. Now this question has become acute. It particularly affects international law: are certain actions & controversies, especially those in connection with the Iraq war, symptoms of a profound crisis of international law in general? The article looks for answers by focusing on the conduct of the US in three particularly important areas of international law, ie, lawmaking by international treaties, the law on the use of force, & international economic law. Some reflections on the reasons for the US's conduct are followed by 10 theses. Adapted from the source document.
