Origin 1789
International law, also known as public international law and the law of nations, is the set of rules, norms, legal customs and standards that states and other actors feel an obligation to, and generally do, obey in their mutual relations. In international relations, actors are the individuals and collective entities, such as states, international organizations and non-state groups, that can make behavioral choices, whether lawful or unlawful; rules are formal, typically written expectations that outline required behavior, while norms are informal, often unwritten guidelines about appropriate behavior shaped by custom and social practice. International law establishes norms for states across a broad range of domains, including war and diplomacy, economic relations, and human rights.
