The Constitution of International Law

The Constitution of International Law refers to the fundamental principles and rules that govern how countries interact on the global stage. It outlines the basic norms, such as respecting sovereignty, honoring treaties, and resolving disputes peacefully. Think of it as the foundational "rulebook" that helps ensure nations cooperate, maintain order, and avoid conflict. While not a single written constitution like a country's, it consists of treaties, customary practices, and legal principles that create a stable framework for international relations.
