International LawName:Course:Date:International law is ideally created by sovereign states for use by sovereign states. International law deals with issues such as diplomacy, territorial integrity of the state and military matters. The effectiveness of any international law is facilitated mainly by the participation of individual countries in its development (Schreuer 2011, 4). Countries are unlikely to care about legal norms unless it is in their interests to do so and they have the will to adopt these norms as laws. However, this means that many international laws are blocked or delayed by states if they interfere with their interests. An example is the debate on climate change. Industrialized countries, considered the biggest polluters, are reluctant to adopt laws that could harm their interests. Without the approval of such states, there can be no progress in the development and adoption of international law. International law depends largely on the consensus of states. The provision of this consent by states emerges from a complex communication process. The communication and negotiation process typically leads to certain results. One such outcome of this process is the explicit treaty mode, which imposes certain obligations on states (Bethlehem 2008, 14). Treaty law forms an important part of modern international law. In addition to treaties, other agreements and documents serve as guidelines on how states should behave. It is crucial to note that these guidelines are not necessarily legally binding. There are many sources of international law, and states choose to interpret and adopt them to varying degrees. The international classification of international law is for... middle of the paper... the world's leading power, responsible for much of global security, does not trust the Security Council to guarantee its security. He then decided to take care of his own security needs. This gives impetus to the United Nations to try to redeem its image as a valuable and vital tool for saving subsequent generations from war (Annan 2003, 4). An empirical study by Schildkraut shows that the UN Charter has never ruled on the use of force. This rule was provided for by a long-established set of customary principles (Schildkraut 2007, 83). If one believes that international law was governed by the behavior of states, then the Bush doctrine had little effect. Indeed, if any other country had similar powers and position to those of the United States, it would have reacted to the threat in a similar way, regardless of the UN Charter..
