In 2009 the US House of Representatives passed legislation requiring reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 18 percent over the coming decade. Later that year, President Obama went to Copenhagen to sign a treaty requiring reductions by 50 percent over a two-decade period. The President came back with nothing: no firm commitment to reduce emissions and only a vague target to hold global temperature rises to under 2C. How does a President who has a 75-vote majority in the House and a 19-vote majority in the Senate-who has pre-approval for a treaty reducing greenhouse gas production by 18...

Countries solemnly intone their commitment to human rights, and they ratify endless international treaties and conventions designed to signal that commitment.

Well-known violators like Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan have sat on the U.N. Council on Human Rights. But it's not just the usual suspects that flagrantly disregard the treaties.

Trani demonstrates in this new study of the Portsmouth Conference which in 1906 brought an end to the Russo-Japanese war.
