The new wave of neo - conservative views on international law seems reminiscent of the past of international law when it was used to justify colonialism and the exploitation of resources of the area subject to colonialism. One may observe that there is a greater astuteness in the use of international law to secure the interests of the powerful than in the past when suppression through force was considered legitimate. In the modern world, international law has become the tool by which the objectives of the powerful can be realised. But opposition to such use has quickly set in and the rules made through power have come to be challenged. Such challenges are mounted not only by the less powerful states but increasingly by transnationally organised groups which seek to counter the norms supoorted by the powerful through the articulation of norms supported by justice. This tussle is what will shape the future course of international law. This articl esurvey areas of international law which have been affected by the tussle and indicates how outcomes are to be assessed.
