It has never been more important to understand how international
law enables and constrains international politics. By drawing
together the legal theory of Lon Fuller and the insights of
constructivist international relations scholars, this book
articulates a pragmatic view of how international obligation is
created and maintained. First, legal norms can only arise in the
context of social norms based on shared understandings. Second,
internal features of law, or 'criteria of legality', are crucial to
law's ability to promote adherence, to inspire 'fidelity'. Third,
legal norms are built, maintained or destroyed through a continuing
practice of legality. Through case studies of the climate change
regime, the anti-torture norm, and the prohibition on the use of
force, it is shown that these three elements produce a distinctive
legal legitimacy and a sense of commitment among those to whom law
is addressed.
