Abstract

Our understanding of what is often proposed – including at American Society of International Law (ASIL) meetings throughout the decades – as the Latin American approach to international law too frequently resembles a generalization of very particular perspectives. Perhaps, one could say, our ideas have been shaped by people telling other people's stories. In this presentation at the ASIL Annual Meeting, I problematized three commonplace assumptions – or myths – about Latin American approaches to international law.

Keywords: Latin America and international law, Non-Western approaches to international law, history of international law, historiography
