The United States has often proclaimed its support for the rule of law in international affairs, but has found it increasingly difficult to adhere to it in practice. John Murphy shows the wide-ranging difficulties standing in the way of US adherence to the rule of law. The book also examines the reasons for the declining US support for the international institutions it was instrumental in creating, and US unwillingness to support new initiatives in international law which enjoy the support of most other members of the world community.
