:I suggest, then, that the HRW article change. If it's not clear, lawfare is an additional means of limiting the actions of sovereign states. Certainly, there are U.S. citizens that object to it, but you are just as likely to find China, Israel, Sudan, Rwanda, etc., objecting to it. It does go straight to the issue of there being few if any restrictions on national sovereignty, other than self-imposed ones. The reality is that there are no international governmental bodies with other than moral enforcement ability. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 12:11, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
