INTERNATIONAL LAW AND INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY
Introduction
International law exists to regulate international society. International society is very

unique characteristics of the international legal system, which have led some to
question whether international law is really a form of law. These doubts have generated
enquiries into the theoretical foundations of international law. Students need to acquire

international legal system works in practice and to identify appropriate cases which

International law and international society
Before the founding of the United Nations in 1945, international law was largely concerned
with the rights and obligations of States. It worked on the assumption that States would look
after the interests of their own citizens. Much has changed since this time but States still
play a central role in the creation, interpretation and application of international law.
