Extract

Has the way the law evolved since 9/11 been an unqualified good? Some might think so. Undoubtedly, there have been many positive developments in international law in general, and the international law of armed conflict (ILOAC) in specific. Certainly those disposed towards the peaceful resolution of disputes and the efficacy of international law are heartened by recent studies that show, rather counterintuitively, that violence, and especially interstate violence, is actually declining.
