International Law

International law usually falls into two different categories. Public International law and Private international law. Public international law is the set of rules, agreements and treaties that are binding between countries. It generally comes from three sources: treaties, customs and general principles of law. Public international law concerns the relationships between nations and international organizations.
Private international law, on the other hand, is a body of rules used to resolve legal disputes between private individuals who cross international boundaries. Where a dispute is between two parties in different countries with different legal systems, private international law helps a court or tribunal determine applicable forum for resolution of disputes and which country’s substantive law will be used to decide the matter. Although it is called ‘international law’ it is in fact a body of domestic law, and each country has its own set of private international law.
