International law does not apply on US imperialism

"The US capture of an Al-Qaeda suspect on Libyan soil has renewed questions of legality, with President Barack Obama relying on controversial rationales from his predecessor George W. Bush." "But the case under international law is less clear. Article 2(4) of the UN Charter bars nations from the threat or use of force against other states." "If we start saying our obligations don't count because we're the biggest gorilla in the zoo, we're not going to have a strong case to tell the Iranians or North Koreans or anyone else that they need to observe their non-proliferation obligations," he said."
