As the United Nations system approaches its fiftieth anniversary, there is good reason to take a fresh view of its contribution to legal order in the contemporary world. That contribution has rarely been assessed in its full generality. A half century of law creation and application by the United Nations and its specialized agencies has produced a corpus juris of impressive breadth and diversity. Not surprisingly, the greater part of this law is known only to those specially concerned with a particular area or subject. Indeed, no one can be expected to be knowledgeable in all, or even most, of the fields covered. Still, along with the diversity, common elements can be found to enable us to characterize the total product as a distinctive, multilayered legal order. This essay is an overview of its essential and interesting features. It aims particularly at informing the many nonspecialists in and outside the international law community who have reason to be interested in the process and substance of the legal contribution of the UN system.

This chapter examines the US's complex relationship with the UN. The Bush Doctrine represented a threat to certain principles held by the UN -- non-aggression & respect for another nation's sovereignty -- & created a fraught relationship in which negative opinions of the US war in Iraq were expressed; however, the author also discusses the increased working relationship between the US & the UN since 9/11. For instance, the Iraq war has caused the Bush administration to rethink the value of the UN & multilateralism. D. Miller
