Description: As conceived in the Project proposal of the Institute of World Polity and agreed by the parties to the contract under which this study is conducted, the purpose of this study is two-fold: (A) to analyze the international legal norms and institutions presently governing international conflict short of conventional war and to project estimates of the foreseeable evolution of these norms and institutions; (B) to recommend policy positions for the United States with respect to the interpretation, application, sanctioning, and further development of the low of limited international conflict so as to secure: (1) a minimum international legal order for a world divided into profoundly different, competing systems which seek to extend themselves beyond their territorial bounds; (2) the survival of the basic values guaranteed by the United Nations Charter and the United States constitutional system, particularly the rights of individuals and societies to choose their way of life freely.
