International Law and the Use of Force (Oxford 2004):
It remains to be seen how far the USA is deliberately posing a challenge to the whole UN system and the existing international legal order, or whether it is operating within the system, even if manipulating the rules for its own ends. The apparently cynical manipulation of legal rules is nothing new; disingenuous rhetoric is certainly not unique to the international legal system. Thus the question arises whether US lip service to international law on the use of force is meaningless or to be welcomed as indicating continued adherence to the Charter system? Or is the US actually claiming special rights exercisable only by it as the only remaining super power?
