Kamran Adil

INTRODUCTION The origin, development, nature and evolution of the international law are usually confounded-whereas its origin and development fell in the domain of historiography, its nature and evolution belong to the discipline of jurisprudence, which is a specialized branch of legal studies. Instant write up will briefly adumbrate different theories dealing with the nature of international law followed by modern views on the subject.

An Introduction to International Law, Thomson Reuters

Swati S Parmar , Adithya A Variath

This chapter introduces the concept and need of public international law, with some of the definitions of international law. It contains a brief introduction to the nature of international law and touches upon the significance of international politics in international law. It also introduces the reader to the commonalities and differences between international and national legal systems. It discusses the issue of international law in an unequal international society and reflects how the statecentric approach affects the realms of international law. It further brings out an interesting case of Social Contract Theory in International Law, whereby the need for international law is pressed with the Social contractarian arguments. The chapter towards the end briefly outlines a comparative sketch between public international law and private international law.

CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO INTERNATIONAL LAW, James Crawford and Martti Koskenniemi, eds., 2010

Frederic J M S Megret

This draft chapter is an attempt to discuss debates on the character of international law as a legal system. The chapter seeks to identify certain ideal-typical characteristics of international law and sees how those affect the debate on whether international law is "really law." It suggests that international law's distinctiveness is that it is a legal system that resists both reform through centralization, absorption by empires, or dissolution through privatization. Note: this is a non-edited version, only the published version is complete and quotable.

The Oxford Handbook of the Sources of International Law

Jean d'Aspremont

This introductory chapter offers a brief overview on the sources of international law. It first highlights the importance of and the controversies surrounding the sources of international law, touching upon the nature, legality, normativity, and legitimacy of international law, as well as the sites and tools of its contestation. The chapter then turns to the historical origins of the sources of international law, asserting that the sources of international law are in fact a product of the Enlightenment project and, arguably, of the liberal doctrine of politics. Finally, the chapter takes a look at how the dominant adherence to the sources of international law has been accompanied by constant contestation among international lawyers about their origins, criteria, functions, unity, and hierarchy. The chapter concludes with a brief summary of the following chapters.
