Customary International Law

Remember the thread going awhile back about weapons confiscation
and the UN was brought up? U.S. News and World Report issue 20May02
column by John Leo talks about abortion rights. However, this column
brings up the use of United Nations declarations and precedents to create new "norms" of customary international law that could supersede national law around the world. In another paragraph it states the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that customary international law is enforceable in U.S. courts. This is what I was reading about awhile ago that anti-gun groups are going to the UN to outlaw gun ownership. This way they circumvent the U.S. courts to take away private weapon ownership. Just something to think about.
