Koh viewed transnational legal process as “seeking to shape and transform personal identity” so that political elites and broader societies “internalize” international law norms. He contended that “[r]epeated participation in the transnational legal process … helps to reconstruct the national interests of the participating nations.” Koh, Harold Hongju, The 1998 Frankel Lecture: Bringing International Law Home, 35 Hous.
