Week 4 International law and international regimes
For this week we will discuss some recent cases in international law, including the
infamous Pinochet case. To prepare for this discussion, listen to this interview with
Noam Chomsky on the case. The main theme of the interview occurs in the first
12 minutes. What is Chomsky's critique of international law? What does he mean
when he says international law is 'designed to punish the weak'? Do you agree
with his argument? What is your view about the Pinochet case?
