In the past year, there has been serious debate over the role that international and foreign law should play in American judicial decision-making. Are there circumstances under which international and foreign law can trump the Constitution? How do we define sovereignty in the age of the war on terrorism? Is U.S. reliance on international law a double-edged sword?
In order to understand recent developments in the relationship between international, foreign, and domestic law and the implications of this debate for American citizens in general, AEI will host a conference on the outsourcing of American law. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will deliver the keynote speech and distinguished speakers will address the subjects of customary international law in American judicial decision-making after Sosa v. Alvarez Machain, international law and laws of war, and the role of foreign law in Supreme Court adjudication. Speakers will include AEI visiting scholar John Yoo; Brookings Institution senior fellow Stuart Taylor; senior vice president of the Center for American Progress Morton Halperin; professor of law at American University’s Washington College of Law Kenneth Anderson; Hofstra University professor of law Julian Ku; and Hoover Institution senior fellow and George Mason University law professor Peter Berkowitz.
