INTRODUCTION

1. What is International Law?
2. International law is a project in construction; it represents a long process of change from the foreign office system to a system of global governance since the end of WWI

• Foreign office system – rules made by diplomats representing individual governments (this is still the basic framework of international law); manifestation of the positivist doctrine, which held that only states could be subjects of international law in the sense of enjoying international legal personality and being capable of possessing international rights and duties, including the right to bring international claims
• System of global governance – sets out to accommodate the pervasiveness of global markets, political interdependencies and the advances of natural sciences and technology; reflects the necessity to address problems in an international framework; actors include private corporations or individuals, NGO’s, departments w/in each government besides the foreign office, among others
