    Study Notes

    Grand Divisions of International Law

    • International law is primarily divided into two main branches: Public International Law and Private International Law.
    • Public International Law governs the relationships between sovereign states and international entities.
    • Private International Law regulates conflicts of law between private individuals from different jurisdictions.

    Relations of States Not Involved in a War

    • Neutrality laws govern the relations between states not involved in a conflict and belligerents.
    • These laws ensure rights and duties for neutral states during wartime, maintaining peaceful engagement.

    Relations of States During War

    • Situations of armed conflict are governed by International Humanitarian Law (IHL), also known as the laws of war.
    • IHL protects those not participating in hostilities and regulates the conduct of armed forces.

    Distinction Between Public and Private International Law by Nature

    • Public International Law is concerned with legal relations between states and international organizations and is largely defined by treaties and customary law.
    • Private International Law addresses cross-border disputes between private entities, focusing on jurisdiction and applicable law.

    Differences in Remedies Between Public and Private International Law

    • Public International Law remedies often involve diplomatic solutions, state responsibility, and international adjudication mechanisms.
    • Private International Law remedies usually include compensatory damages or specific performance within civil litigation.

    Main Focus of International Law

    • The primary aim of International Law is to promote international peace, security, and cooperation among states.
    • It establishes rules for interactions and the resolution of disputes between nations.

    Governing Laws for Non-Involved States During War

    • Neutral states during a conflict are primarily governed by norms of neutrality under Public International Law.
    • These rules dictate the rights of neutral parties and their obligations concerning belligerents.

    Nature of Public vs. Private International Law

    • Public International Law is based on the authority of states and international entities, emphasizing collective interests.
    • Private International Law is more concerned with individual interests and the resolution of private disputes across different legal systems.

    Distinction Between Laws of Peace and Laws of War

    • Laws of peace focus on the rights and duties of states in normal circumstances and diplomatic relations.
    • Laws of war, or IHL, specifically regulate conduct during conflicts, aiming to protect those affected by war and limit the means of warfare.
