4 Compared with the demand of the practitioner that international law have the certainty and enforceability of national law, with the demand of the political realist that it show the capacity to solve the power struggle, with the demand of the scientist that it abolish the nuclear bomb, it is indeed a modest plea to suggest that international law be applied within a selective community. It has been suggested that such selective communities may be identified with regional or functional organizations or more broadly with groups of states which share generally a philosophy of respect for law. So limited, international law is today playing a useful role but its potentialities have not been realized. In subsequent chapters we shall test these two conclusions.” Philip C.
