Summary of Public International Law
The body of international law that governs the conduct of a nation as a sovereign entity in its relations with other nations. It does not deal with the international activities of private individuals or firms. (Main Author: William J. Miller) “Public international law” refers to the law of nations. It's about principles which have evolved over millennia, governing how nations deal with each other. It refers to, for example, the United States and Canada (and perhaps dozens of other countries) signing a treaty to do something. Until the mid-20th century, most public international law dealt almost exclusively with matters of war and peace. International law rarely affected the average lawyer and client. From around 1930, public international law has expanded to include many treaties and conventions that directly impact the lives and interests of “real people.” This means that public international law has changed from something of interest only to a few specialists to something of interest to almost everyone dealing with the legal system.
