Optimism about practice and in theory.—Most would agree that the international legal system has undergone significant moral improvement since 1945. The veil of sovereignty has been pierced: a burgeoning human rights law affirms that how a state treats its own population is no longer its own business only. Slavery, genocide, and aggressive war are prohibited. More states than ever before are democratic. Some scholars even argue that international law is moving toward recognition of a right to democratic governance as a human right.’ The prodemocracv inter¬vention in Haiti, the expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait, and the NATO intervention in Kosovo have all been praised as valuable steps toward an international system that takes as primary the protection of the rights of individuals rather than the interests of states. Widely discussed goals for further improvement include better compliance with human rights norms; a more consistent, effective, and morally defensible international legal response to secession and other self-determination conflicts; more effective support for democracy; impartial and effective procedures for the prosecution of war crimes; and greater equality among states as actors in the creation and application of international law.
