Nature of International Law — Is It a True Law?
Introduction
International Law is a body of rules and principles that governs the relations between sovereign States, international organizations, and, in certain cases, individuals. It aims to maintain international peace, security, justice, and cooperation among nations. Unlike Municipal Law, which is enacted and enforced by a sovereign authority within a State, International Law operates primarily through the consent of States. This has given rise to an important debate among jurists regarding whether International Law can truly be regarded as "law."
