This address, delivered at the Yale Law School in March 2006, is a
most interesting, comprehensive, readable (and non-polemical) analysis
of the role of international law in U.S. relations with the rest of the
world in the past and in recent years. It is available at the link
below, can be downloaded as a PDF file, and prints out at just over 9
pages. It was published in the Yale Journal of International Law, Vol.
31, No. 2 (Summer 2006). The author is William H. Taft IV, whose most
recent government post was as Legal Adviser at the Department of State,
2001-2005.
