Behind the international legal news today:
1) Airbus Trade Threats - Airbus has announced that it will not seek government subsidies, which might moot the complaint of unfair competition filed by the U.S. before the WTO. If the complaint continues, the U.S. will have to address questions of its support for Boeing.
2) Senator McCain promoted a provision, passed by the Senate, to limit mistreatment of detainees. See the Washington Post article. Is this necessary in view of existing humanitarian law and the U.S. instructions to troops (see http://faculty.ed.umuc.edu/~nstanton/FM27-10.htm). The Senate provisions are directed to interrogation techniques. Do they clarify or confuse instructions to armed forces personnel?
