  • Summary

    This chapter considers the extent to which the (so-called) international legal order provides an example of government in accordance with the rule of law.It begins in the first two sections with a discussion of the elements that comprise that ideal, before turning in the third section to competing accounts of its value; that is, explanations of what makes government in accordance with the rule of law (morally) superior to other forms of rule. The chapter concludes with a somewhat pessimistic assessment of the degree to which the international legal order exhibits fidelity to the ideal of the rule of law.
