Answer to Question #233854 in Political Science for Anda

Question

a case for and against the argument that international politics is driven primarily by the actions of individuals

Answer 1

Opponents of international law believe that international law is uncertain in the process of continued development. National laws only oppose it because they are so clear that international law cannot be considered law. 

 Whether international law is really law is a question that has caused much controversy in the political science literature. There are many arguments against international law. Political thinkers believe that international law is nothing more than a collection of moral principles, because it is binding on all sovereign countries. Hobbes, Bentham, Austin, Professor Holland, Lord Salisbury, Hitler, Mussolini did not regard international law as law. 

 Lord Salisbury said in a speech in the House of Lords: "Gentlemen, I believe we were misled by our light use of the term international law in this matter. International law does not exist in the commonly understood term "law." In the sense. This usually depends on the prejudice of the textbook author. It cannot be enforced by any court, so applying it to the term "law" is somewhat misleading."
