International Law refers to a set of rules, agreements, and treaties that are binding between countries and govern the relationships and conduct of states and other international actors. It encompasses a wide range of issues including human rights, trade, diplomacy, the laws of war, and environmental protection. International law is primarily composed of treaties and customary international law, which arises from the consistent practice of states followed by a belief that such practice is legally obligatory. This body of law serves to provide a framework for international cooperation and helps to resolve disputes between nations, promoting peace and stability in the international system. International law can be enforced through various mechanisms, including international courts and tribunals, though its enforcement often relies on the willingness of states to comply.
