🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

International Community: The international community refers to the collective of sovereign states and entities that are recognized under international law. It encompasses all nations and recognized entities that interact within the framework of international legal norms, forming the basis for the development and recognition of international legal standards.

Treaties: Treaties are formal agreements entered into by states that are legally binding under international law. They serve as one of the primary sources of international law, establishing rights and obligations between the parties involved. Treaties can cover a wide range of issues, including peace, trade, human rights, and environmental protection.

Customary International Law: Customary international law consists of practices and customs adopted by states over time, which are accepted as legally binding. These practices become law through consistent and general practice accompanied by a belief that such practice is obligatory (opinio juris). Customary law develops gradually and is recognized even without written agreements.
