@semenko1979 the US legal institution simply has a very different relationship with international law than so many other countries.

You have to understand international law in the context of the nations who would recognize and adopt those laws, and the US has a long history of declining to join particular international proposals.

International law is only substantial and "black letter" to the extent that a nation adopts it, and US pragmatism leaves it much more skeptical of that power.
