Professor Jose Alvarez considers the impact on sovereigns and actions taken by the contemporary Security Council, the UN General Assembly, and UN Specialized Agencies such as the World Health Organization. He considers the diverse functions performed by adjudicators – from judges of the International Criminal Court to arbitrators within the international investment regime. This text raises fundamental questions concerning the future of international law given the challenges international organizations pose to legal positivism, to traditional conceptions of sovereignty, and to the rule of law itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI.\tLegal Positivism and its Discontents (1)\tThe Mainstream: Legal Positivism  (a)\tPositivist Treaties (b)\tPositivist Custom (c)  \tPositivist General Principles (2)\tThe Institutional Challenge to Legal Positivism (a)\tThe Reality of Institutionalization (b)\tThe International Judiciary (c)\tThe Return of Domestic Analogies (d)\tFrom State Rules to Process (e)\tFrom Process to Inter-disciplinarity  (3)\tCaveats  II.\tThe UN Charter Over Time: The Contemporary Security Council  (1)\tWhat is the UN Charter for?
