J. S. Campbell, "The Cuban Crisis and the UN Charter: An Analysis of the United States Position" 16 Stan. L. Rev. 160 - 176 (1963).

1) What legal reasoning did the United States rely upon? Which line of reasoning was suspiciously absent?

2) Was the quarantine an il/legitimate "use of force?" A "threat of use of force?"

3) To what extent was the UN Charter relevant to the legality the U.S. action? Is there a customary law ("inherent" in international law but) outside the Charter that may be relevant?

4) Did the Rio Treaty itself violate the UN Charter by authorizing collective armed responses that were not spelled out in Article 51?
