[IntLawProfessors] FW: Okla state question 755 update

[Mary Durfee]

Perhaps scholarship and some opinions have gone in that direction, but not the actual operations in US State and in other departments.  For example, there's a new semi-journalistic account, the Least Worst Place on the efforts in State and in the US Marine Corps to make Guantanamo legal under the Geneva Conventions.  There were actively overruled, but there was little doubt in their minds on what the rules were.

There is a brand of IR scholarship that I find really interesting, the way different courts, municipal and otherwise, use human rights law to give more effect to it.  Kathryn Sikkink at Minnesota has done work in this area and there seems to be a lot of work going on among Ph.D. students at Virginia.

Dear Profs.
This is very educative for an Indian law teacher. I have been thinking how the "third world sees constitutionalism in international law?" With Posnerian view, American scholarship has moved further away to the idea that international relations is the determining factor and int'l is almost obsolete.
