Classes notes:
International law: involve Which is relate which matters in which more than long legal system

and Sustainable Development -> liability and torts.

-> 2. International law (war and peace)
Private international law: regulates individual behaviour between people from different
countries. Between citizens (contract between 2 companies).
International relations between private people (citizens/ companies).
Natural law (natuurrecht)
everyone know this, this is absolutly against the law 100% a crime (bijv. genocide). You dont
have to put this in the lawbook.
Moral standards are directly derived from human nature
Given by a higher entity (god?)
Function of legal system is to secure justice
Lex injustia non est lex: unjust laws are not laws. Onrechtvaardige wetten zijn geen wetten.
Exist independent of any given legal or political order. The rule exists without any sight from
above.
Positivism (wetspositivisme)
You have to put it first in a Law rull, before you concluded is this right or wrong.
No connection of moral standards and law
Law is man-made. The content of law can be discovered by looking at what states do.
Valid law is not necessarily just
Laws are the result of conventions translated into a legal code
What are the consequences of not following the rules of international law?
international courts.
Of justice in Den Haag
The relevance of international law:
Realists:
International law irrelevant
States only respect international law if it suits them
, Het internationale stelsel is een machtsstrijd tussen staten, waarbij staten alles zullen
doen om hun eigenbelang te vergroten. Staten zullen internationaal recht alleen
respecteren als zij hier zelf beter van worden en het links laten liggen als dit niet het
geval is.
international law is only relevant as long as it refects the interests of a state, otherwise it
will be violated.
liberalists:
International law relevant if properly designed. Als er rekening wordt gehouden met de drang
naar macht van staten.
Beneficial in solving international problems
international law can be useful when it comes to trade and investment. Legal rules ensure
certainty and create stable expectations.
Constructivists:
International law necessary
Framework for international politics
Internationaal recht ziet niet alleen op het verbieden van dingen, maar heeft ook een
faciliterende functie. Staten kunnen allianties sluiten, het bevordert de politieke dialoog
en het bepaalt bijvoorbeeld of de inval van een land in een buurland moet worden gezien
als een invasie. It is very important because it helps to shape society.
Globalisation. What is it?
An increasingly interconnected world.
Integration of societies, regional and national
Economies + cultural + socials.
Increased need for a global legal framework
New challenges for international law
Why do states obey the International legal system?
States themselves make IL so they will have little intention to break it
Application of law is matter of habit and routine; states will continue what they are
used to doing
Considerations of reciprocity: If A violates the treaty, B can violate the treaty
Social and political sanctions.
Last 3 decated more and more globalisation (people feel themselves more a world citizen).
International organizations
- united nations
- international chamber of commerce in Paris
- NAFTA
- WTO, world trade organisation
- IMF
international influence -> yes
the strength or the rule/ power depents about which organisation we talk.
