An excess of human rights

This weekend I read:


The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties;


The final draft of the International Law Commission's Articles on State Responsibility;


The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights;


The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights;


The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women;


The Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment;


two Law Review articles about universal jurisdiction for international crimes;


and I am about to read International Law in a Nutshell all in prepping for a 40 page paper due in less than two weeks. You just WISH you could have my life right now, don't you?
