Features: Reflecting on the development and limitations of international law at the turn of the century is a tradition in the field of international law, and it is this tradition that has left behind a "spiritual history" of international jurisprudence for contemporary times. The 2003 Iraq War, in which all countries condemned the United States for violating Iraq's sovereignty and severely violating recognized international law principles, serves as a reminder: international law is primarily a normative system rather than a results-oriented one. In this book, the author strives to examine some of the most important and meaningful aspects of new international law in detail, with the aim of demonstrating the methods and potential effects of revised international law. The sole purpose of this book is to highlight the imperative for cooperation and to point out the path to achieving these goals. There is no more suitable place to elucidate this theme than Columbia University, where respect for scientific truth has always been closely intertwined with the noble ideals of international unity and cooperation.
