Chapter 15 in the textbook deals with international law and international organizations. While the United States was a founding member of the United Nations and many international organizations, we have often ignored or been slow to come around on international law when it proved to be inconvenient for us as a nation. For instance, the US has never signed on to a UN convention against all forms of racism or international pledges to stop the use of landmines as a weapon of war (due to the high number of civilian casualties). What costs does the United States incur for ignoring international law? What benefits does the United States gain from working within the confines of international law and international organizations?
