"Almost all nations observe almost all principles of international law and almost all of their obligations almost all of the time."

"The choice in the Bill of Rights of the word ‘person’ rather than ‘citizen’ was not fortuitous; nor was the absence of a geographical limitation. Both reflect a commitment to respect the individual rights of all human beings.”

Louis Henkin
