					<description><![CDATA[Actually, it looks like both sides are a little confused. 

Foreign law is foreign law.

International law is not foreign law. Actually, it&#039;s not really even law in the sense most people think about it. &quot;International law&quot; consists of mutual treaties that two or more countries have signed; the most glaring example is the UN Charter. Theoretically, a country is legally bound by any treaties it has signed, although there&#039;s no international police force and no international court to enforce the treaty if one side abrogates it. It entirely depends on goodwill.

A local law in Oklahoma would not affect &quot;international law&quot; in any way whatsoever.]]></description>
