Cases include the Persian Gulf War; the use of chemical weapons in Vietnam; terrorism in Northern Ireland and the Middle East; intervention in civil conflicts in Africa; Germany’s recognition of Slovenia and Croatia; the moral duties of multinationals; and the fate of the New International Economic Order.
