First Course. International Law

Human beings have from the very beginning of their existence lived in clans (tribes) groups of people related by blood or marriage and living together which in their inter-relations followed certain laws ; all social relations create legal norms.

The union of clans through their grouping, voluntary or otherwise led to the formation of nations historically determined permanent communities of people sharing the same language, culture and territory. A nation may be divided between several States and, on the other hand, a State may consist of several nations multi-national State.

International law is a body of legal norms applying primarly to relations between States ; in modern times it applies to their relations with international organizations and certain relations with individuals.
