Although the United States has consistently emphasized the importance of the international legal system, it has simultaneously distanced itself from many established principles of international law and the institutions that implement them. In fact, the American government has attempted to unilaterally reshape certain doctrines of international law while disregarding others, such as provisions of the Geneva Conventions and the prohibition on torture.America's selective self-exemption, Natsu Taylor Saito argues, undermines not only specific legal institutions and norms, but leads to a decreased effectiveness of the global rule of law. Meeting the Enemy is a pointed look at why the United States' frequent-if selective-disregard of international law and institutions is met with such high levels of approval, or at least complacency, by the American public. 001480243 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001480243 546__ $$aIn English. 001480243 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 18.
