Is international law a true law?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

IL as be define as the common practice of nations and believe by states as binding on them if they didn't oppose to the customary international law. Even if they are not a party to the convention, and majority of the nation has been practicing it's a common IL binding on all nation. IL is law and it's binding on states which didn't object or if they are not "persistent objector"

Another View: There are some TRUE international laws recognized by virtually all nations (e.g.: Maritime Law - International Diplomatic Immunity - etc). But the true practice of so-called "International Law" as a body of all-encompassing laws that will control the activities of all nations under one umbrella enforcement agency and one single court of judgment is a THEORY. (mostly propounded and supported by "Progressives" and supporters of the "One-World" movement)
