Using Digest of United States Practice in International Law 2007, ( HYPERLINK "http://2001-2009.state.gov/s/l/2007/c27114.htm" http://2001-2009.state.gov/s/l/2007/c27114.htm) find a June 2007 speech by a senior U.S. official regarding the U.S. position on the relevancy of international law. Who gave this speech? Do you believe that this speech indicates that the United States government believes that the United States is bound by international law? John B. Bellinger (Legal Adviser, U.S. State Department). His speech contains some passages that indicate that he believes that the U.S. government is bound by international law. See, for example, the sixth paragraph (how international law binds us in our domestic system) and the first paragraph of the last section (My goal here is to clear up some common myths and misperceptions including that international law is not truly binding in our system). But there are also some passages that could lead to the opposite conclusion (In response, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that the President had no power to intervene in its affairs, even to obtain compliance with an order of the ICJ and our Supreme Court has made clear that our Constitution protects certain core individual rights, including the right to a fair trial, to free speech, and to equal protection of the laws, from infringement by any legal act, including international rules). Path to find it: After opening the link, click on List of Documents, then browse under relevant headings such as Treaty Affairs and Foreign Relations. Find the speech, and then read it to get a sense of the views expressed in it. 2. Find a law review article that discusses customary international law on torture. Give its title and describe how you found it. Joshua A. Decker, Is the United States Bound by the Customary International Law of Torture? A Proposal for ATS [Alien Tort Statute] Litigation in the War on Terror, Chicago Journal of International Law 6.2 (Winter 2006): p.803-832. Path to find it: This is one of 5 law journal articles that I found indexed in LegalTrac using the search terms , , and , each as separate entries in the document title field in the advanced search mode. The full text of the article is available in Hein, Westlaw, and Lexis. An alternative method would be to go to one of the above sources (Hein, Westlaw, or Lexis) first and perform a search such as TI(custom! & international law & torture) in Westlaws Journals & Law Reviews (JLR) database. I recommend starting with LegalTrac because of the broad coverage of journals that are indexed in it. Hein does include a number of journals that are not in LegalTrac, but sometimes the most recent issues of certain journals are not in Heins Law Journal Library database, so I recommend using Hein as a back-up source to search for articles in after searching for them in LegalTrac first. 3. Using the table of contents of the World Court Digest (you find the relevant website), find a case on the immunity of a head of state from the jurisdiction of other states. What case did you find? Democratic Republic of the Congo v. Belgium, Judgment of 14 February 2002. Path to find it: At the World Court Digest page at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law click on the table of contents link. Scroll down to 4.2.7. Immunity of States. Click on this link, and the relevant case appears. 4. Using the American State Papers (you find the relevant website), find an example of U.S. state practice regarding an illegal blockade in 1823. In this example, President James Monroe transmits a document from the U.S. Secretary of State. What is the country mentioned in the document you found, and who is the author of the document? Spain; John Quincy Adams. Path to find it: At the American State Papers (ASP) web page in the Library of Congress website, click on Search this Title through the Collections Search Page. In the upper two boxes with drop-down menus, select 17th Congress, 1821-23 and American State Papers (table of contents/index). In the search box, use the search term blockade. Click on the link View Page 241, which takes you to the relevant document. An alternative method would be to browse the American State Papers by clicking on the Browse ASP button from the home page, then clicking on contents under Vol. 5 1818-1826 of the Foreign Relations section, then performing a Ctrl-F search for the word blockade.  %&236yz   # 9 : /8K#&'-3456ûóóóóó䔏 h'5>* h, 75h, 7h, 75h; h5hrdhd5>* hrd5h; hd5h; h5 h'5hUh'0J h[vh'jh'Uh'hh;mh5h%hanhAghkx123  JK56gdangd;mgdh^hgdgd'gd7$a$gd;m6EGH|gFGx{Nh쥇{hrdhrd5he h5hrdh5>* h'5>*hh5hh5h;mhx6Jhh, 7h5h, 7h, 75 h 5 hEz5 hI5 hx6J5 h 55 hca5 hrd5 hT5 h, 75hrdh, 75>*0MNhi#$gdegdhix "#$h+4hkx hws5 hrd5 hs}q5hrdhrd5hrdhrd5>*hrd ,1h/ =!"#$% ^ 2 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA`D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k (No List 6U@6 an Hyperlink >*B*phFVF ;mFollowedHyperlink >*B*phPK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
