Public international law


Public international law
The definition of international law
The public international law may be defined as the body of Rules which determine the rights and duties of states among their mutual relations whether during peace or during wartime as well as the relations with the various international institutions
This definitions means that the international law rules which determine the conduct of the state in dealing with each other and rules relating to the functions of the international institutions or organisation and their relations with state
 

The nature of international law

In discussing the nature of international law we have to consider that there are some writers who are going to say the international law is not true law but a code of Rules of conduct of moral Force only.
According to that openion the law is true law only when there is an authority vested with the making of law, another vested with the settlement of conflicts which arise between Persons and a third vested with the pursuing of the execution of decisions and judgements pronounced and decleared such is not the case of international law, because the states do not recognise the existence of high authority to which they feel bound to obey.
In another term there is no legislative authority above the states to lay down rules of international law, there is no judical authority to ensure respect of the National law and there is no executive power to execute decisions adopted so the international is not true law this opinion Is not exactly true for the following reasons

1. If it is being the truth that there is no legislative authority in the international field but it has been true also that there is a system of law being in force and observed in many Communities without a formal legislative authority
2. Although,the States themselves is lat down the rules of international law by customs or by treaties but we can say that a great mass of international legislation has come into existence as a result of Law making threats and conventions which had been concluded by the States
3. It is known that the judical authority in international system is represented by arbitration tribunas and by International Court of Justice
4. After the court of the United Nations had been concluded in 1945 in San Francisco the rule of public international tended to be most effective
For these reasons we can say that the rules of international law are true law


Differences between the internal law and international law

There are fundamental differences which distinguish public international law from the internal law hereinafter some of these differences reviewed
1. Internal or municipal law is practised inside the state where as the public international law applies to the external relations of states with other States or with international institutions
2. The pearsons of the internal law are the individuals of which state in composed all these individuals submit to a common high authority whereas the principal persons of public international law are the state themselves which are considered independent sovereign political bodies
3. Inside every state there is an authority vested with the making of law another was the settlement of conflicts which arise between individuals and a third with the purssuing of execution of decisions and judgements pronounced and declared such is not the case with the public international law

From olden days a human being cannot live in isolation with his neighbours
 buying and selling to satisfy his needs his relations between him and other in that Society created some sort of reports which should be regulated the authority which rules the society but is it necessary ruins rules to regulate those rapports therefore the law appears to organise the relations in the society in other meaning the regulates the behavior and conduct of the people in this study we briefly explain the principles what was the law to the student who doesn't know the branch of sciences sussed trust says thus divide this this is the city u d y study into two parts we study the theory of f law is the first part 
and the theory of rights in the second part

Classification of law

the basic of law division is in public and private law. This classification is based upon a distinction between the public or private character of the persons concerned.

public law is that wich regulates relations of public persons among themselves or relations arising between public person either the state or one of its authoritieswhether legislative, excutive or 
judicial.

private law concerning with the relation of private person among themselves


Subdivision of public law

Public law includes several branches constitutional law, administrative law, the criminal law, the public international law, and the financial law

1- The constitutional law

It means that branch of public law of a state which streets organisation end frame of government the organs and power of sovereignty authorities and functions

The fundamental which are to regulate nations of government and subject and prescribers generally the plan and Method according to which the public affairs of the state are to be administrated


The works on constitutional law usually deals  with the state in relation to maintenance off order and the defence of the state rather than with it's expanding activities in social economic sphere

It is new gardening tool the letter that the average citizen comes face to face with the official in the course of day-to-day administration but his fundamental freedoms more likely the infringed in relation to the maintenance of order it is in this sphere that the courts are likely to be in conflict with the executive and it is to the courts rather than the parliament is it the citizen resorts for the redress of his individual grievances

thus a b text book unconstitutional law can cover only a part of the vast field uS government n status of 
ministers but not the details of services such as education or housing this is left to administrative law



The criminal law

Criminal law is that branch of law which relates of offences that may be the subject of criminals proceedings instituted for the punishment of the offenders any act or omission which may be the subject of such proceedings is a criminal offense
thus a crime can be defined as n an offence against the state not necessarily violating any private right end punishable by the state here we have two distinguish between breeches of law which are crimes and those which are merely illegal without being criminal
A criminal offence is essentially characterised by the fact it intails a liability to banishment by the state and not payment of damages by way of competitions to the injured party while a tort is a civil wrong for which the remedy is an action for compensation in the form of unliquidated damages an offence can be both a tort and a crime houses is it in the case with assault and libel.
If an offence is known to be a crime one test to ascertain if it also a tort is to see if it damages any particular individual

Objective of criminal punishment

The main object of criminal law to punish the offender and not to compensate the person injured
Criminal punishment acts upon
1. The body of the Offender by depriving him either permanently or temporarily of there power to repeat the offence
2. The mind off the offender by striving to villavent him frome repeating the offence by the terror it inspires 
3. The mind others by striven to deter them from committing offense 
Division of crimes

Essentials of a crime
As a general rule crime involves guilty conduct and guilty intention
Guilty conduct may consist of an act or omission. Or omission constituting guilty conduct is known as ACTUS REUS which must be an act prohibited by law.
In case of omission a person is not generally held criminally responsible unless he was under a legal obligation or agreement to take action in the circumstances is which he was placed

. The accused's foresight of the consequences of what he was doing
among the essentials are the following

.malice in law

A mere intention to commit a crime is not punishable if no steps are taken to carry it into effect but an attempt to commit a crime is in itself offence and therefore punishable
