² The website of the Informal International Law Making project, http://www.informallaw.org, includes a rich collection of Web resources and case studies that constitute an important resource for ongoing research into understanding how practices can regulate or shape international behavior outside the framework of international legal obligation. Interest in this area of international activity dates at least from the 1990s to the work of Christine Chinkin, Dinah Shelton, and Anne-Marie Slaughter, to name a few. See Chinkin, Christine M., The Challenge of Soft Law: Development and Change in International Law, 38 Int’l & Comp. L.Q. 850 (1989)CrossRefGoogle Scholar; Commitment and Compliance: The Role of Non-binding Norms in the International Legal System (Dinah Shelton ed., 2000); Anne Marie Slaughter, The New World Order (2004). Informal International Law making further acknowledges Slaughter’s work on transnational regulatory networks as its point of departure.
