Every once in a while we look up from our research, push the glasses back up on our noses, and share something exciting we have just learned.
Ranging from humanitarian policies of China and the sovereignty of Tibet to the effectiveness of war tribunals in Cambodia and the UN's response to the genocide in Darfur.
In the light of my international law paper writing, I would like to pose this quote (thanks to my roomie and late night study pal) for you to consider...
"The law is ... a weapon of the stronger ... Law reflects not any fixed ethical standard, but the policy and interests of the dominant group in a given state at a given period. As such, 'Politics and law are indissolubly interwined.'"
E. H. Carr
