International Law

"International law is the term commonly used for referring to laws that govern the conduct of independent nations in their relationships with one another." They are generally regarded as binding, and State Parties accept the terms. Treaties like the Geneva Conventions require nations assent to the terms, which often requires acts of national legislation to conform. Nations may delegate their national jurisdiction to a supranational tribunal such as the European Court of Human Rights or the International Criminal Court.
