Amongst other things I do, I am an English lawyer, & with that background I
would recommend

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/reports/international/iraq_hearing.shtml

to those comrades interested in the issue of the legality of the Iraq
invasion under international law.

That said, public international law is a formal phrase for agreements
between capitalist states made to minimise war as a method of remedying
conflicts between them.  I don't think it is of any real interest to the
working class.  If/when the Anglo-American invasion wins and other such wars
are conducted, new principles of public international law will be generated.
There is no Hegelian rational world order that, in the end, is going to save
us.
