Pilpul Competence and International Law: Practicing With a Flawed Ethical Baseline and Understanding National Values in American Foreign Affairs Policymaking?

Abstract

Generally speaking, discussions of ethics and policy making have a tendency to immediately sink into debates over individual opinions and values. That tendency is magnified in the international spectrum, where each additional world community member that competes for international equality expands the underlying range of inequalities, and differing values and beliefs at stake. With only and occasional lapse, attempt to evade the task of harmonizing the underlying value disputes in an effort to focus on functional role for the government attorney when approaching a comparison of these national and international concerns.
