This video emphasizes that all nations have a deep interest in the rule of law in diplomacy, particularly smaller nations that depend heavily on respect for the rules by powerful neighbors. The Iran Hostage crisis is the example used, but the film considers the broader implications of the Iran tragedy. Articulate, recognized authorities on diplomatic practice and international law participate, including U.N. Security Council speakers from Mauritius, Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, Bolivia, Greece, USSR, and Kuwait; State Department legal advisor Louis Shields; U.N. Ambassador McHenry; and President Carter. You can also watch this video
