Anthony Kennedy in New Yorker

On Foreign Policy: Using foreign law is inevitable with an interconnected world

It really began with the Holocaust, when international law started to concern itself with how nations treated their own citizens. Country A is concerned with how Country B treats its own citizens. So you had the beginnings of things like the European Court of Human Rights. They became the new kids on the block, but no one really knew what they did. Gradually, their work started to become known around the world. Then you started to have formal exchanges of judges. Source: Jeffrey Toobin in The New Yorker, "Swing Shift" Sep 12, 2005
