Disastrous To Peace

"Further," he says, "it
would be disastrous for the
prospects of peace to concede
as a matter of international law
that those launching an attack
against a neighbor can rely
upon a protected 'sanctuary' as
the base for such attacks."

He concludes on this point,
that "the occasional utility of
the instrument is not worth the
irritations and vexations of the
present disorderly practice of
states."
