INTERNATIONAL LAW
Today, International Law, though not recognized by all the world states but somehow is directly or indirectly affecting the world order. The era to live in isolation after having pursued the aggressive policies backed by the emotionalism and nationalism is over. A state has to take care of its relations with the world economies and world powers. This international law is not the brainchild of one legislature or one jurist but hundreds of them. It is the name of usage and customs practiced by the states for years.
