Abstract
The United States has been the main supporter of the development of international rules since the end of World War II. The US sought to rebuild an international system that would promote international cooperation in various areas to avoid conflicts: economic (through the creation of an international Trade Organization), financial (the international Monetary Fund), development (the international Bank for Reconstruction and Development), maintenance of international peace (the United Nations), and all characterizing US attachment to "legalism." Although it is undeniable that the US has always been trying to influence this international legal system and to use it to achieve its national objectives (and that is understandable since the US has been a hegemonic for 60 years), US policy has recently changed.
