Part II the aim of international law
Mary Ellen O’Connell explains the aim (purpose) of international law and the power it has to achieve that purpose. International law supports order in the world and the attainment of humanity’s fundamental goals of peace, prosperity, respect for human rights, and protection of the natural environment. These goals can best be realized through international law, which uniquely has the capacity to bind even a superpower of the world.
International law attempts to define the standard of conduct for international relationships between and among states, as well as addressing the application of domestic law to foreign persons within individual states.
Two primary purposes of international law are:
to build cooperation between and among states;
to set standards and procedures to minimize conflict between states.
