Summary
This chapter traces the revolt against international law by domestic courts. The Luxembourg Court of the European Union and the Supreme Court of the United States began this trend, but many courts around the world have joined in. A growing number of top-level courts in EU member states have rebelled against the Luxembourg Court. Russia’s Constitutional Court has taken the movement as far as it can go by wielding constitutional law in new and surprising ways as a way to excuse Russian noncompliance with its international obligations.
