International law & international relations: intersection

Résumé 0

"Is there an intersection between the application of PublicInternational Law with the political conduction of internationalrelations? Should International Law, International Order andInternational Rules be redefined? How can such an intersectionbe found? The investigation seeks to extrapolate new definitionsand an International Law axiom by utilizing sundry approachesto the state of the question which is properly laid out as wellas some terms defined previous to the discussion by utilizing“approaches.” The investigation is carried out by using theCartesian method or that of Descartes and followers and theformal and material logical structures. Eventually new definitionsand an axiom by extrapolating analyses categories are laid out.Hence, approaches such as the “legalistic” one, the “naturallaw” one, the “religious,” the “extra-legal” one, the “eclectic”one, the “effective” one and the “UN proposed” one are analyzed in-depth upon observing the experience and currentfactual situation even though noting that those approaches areneither mutually exclusive nor “pure,” but representative asthe examples supporting them show. The paper’s bottom lineis no other than zeroing in on one of the oldest of InternationalLaw’s wounds: That of its effectiveness. But by pointing outvarious moot points and by reflecting on the different realitystages, one can conclude that the material mission of the lawas well as the aims of international order are eventuallyattained. Nonetheless in concluding and setting out the axiomsand new definitions, the existing political power within ademocratic framework should not be overlooked as the praxisof International Law meets that of international power to formthen a juxtaposition. So, regardless of some internationalinstruments being deemed as substantial law, one has to askwhether what the international community calls “breaking oflaw,” is rather a breaking of procedures or adjective mandates."
