Harold Koh, "A World Drowning in Guns":

Many people are interested in Harold Koh's nomination to be State
Department legal advisor, but not all of those people have access to
Lexis, Westlaw, or a good law library. Accordingly, here are links to
two important articles by Koh:
[1]On American Exceptionalism, 55 Stanford Law Review 1480 (2003).
In this article, Koh examines various definitions of American
"exceptionalism", then provides his own, and proposes strategies to
eliminate the inappropriate exceptionalism.
[2]A World Drowning in Guns, 71 Fordham Law Review 2333 (2003). In
this article, Koh lauds the international gun control effort, and
criticizes John Bolton's invocation of the Second Amendment at the
2001 UN small arms conference. VC citation counters will be pleased
to see that a citation to an [3]article by Randy Barnett and [4]one
by me.
