Abstract

This essay aims to show how both the 1994 UN decision of notusing force to avert the genocide in Rwanda and the 2003 unilateral use of force by theUS/UK led coalition against Iraq testify on behalf of an approach in which the Post-ColdWar times is marked by a grave weakening of the role of the international law andconsequent triumph of a Hobbesian state of nature in the international system. Thegood relationship between the international law on use of force and the nationalinterest of the two Anglo-Saxon great powers during the Cold War period here is seenas it has been only a temporary historical coincidence rather than a progressive marchtoward a Kantian world order.
