Dear Folks,
As an assignment in my International Relations class we were to analyze a journal article pertaining to International Relations. I found an interesting one that illustrates how the United States has used ambiguous language in United Nations Security Council Resolutions many times to justify the use of force-"Bypassing the Security Council: Ambiguous Authorizations to Use Force, Cease-Fires and The Iraqi Inspection Regime " by Jules and Michael Ratner. It is found in the "Journal of International Law" vol.93: 124, 1999.
I'll include my rather constrained assignment for perusal if one can read attachments. My analysis does not do the JIL article justice however, because the article offers many more examples of how the US has manipulated International Law.
