International Law (also called public international law to distinguish from "private international law", i.e. resolution for conflict of laws) in its most general sense, "consists of rules and principles of general application dealing with the conduct of states and of international organizations and with their relations inter se, as well as with some of their relations with persons, whether natural or juridical."//www.law.columbia.edu/library/Research_Guides/internat_law/pubint#Definition%20of%20International%20Law International law concerns the structure and conduct of states, international organizations, and, to a certain degree, also multinational corporations and individuals.
While both are supranational systems of law, the term "public international law" should be distinguished from "private international law". Public international law regulates the relationship between states and international entities, regulates competing demands, and establishes the framework for predictable and agreed behaviour among parties. Private international law selects between conflicting municipal systems of law to regulate the relationship between persons, as defined both legally and naturally. *
The necessity for international law arose in the context of increased international communication, trade, and conflict. According to the President of the International Court of Justice, Rosalyn Higgins, international law is a normative system "harnessed to the achievement of common values —values that speak to us all, whether we are rich or poor, black or white, of any religion or none, or come from countries that are industrialized or developing".Higgins R, Problems and process : international law and how we use it (Oxford : Clarendon Press, 1994) at 16.
