Overview
Understanding the evolution, principles, and contemporary challenges to international law and the rules-based order is fundamental for GS2 (International Relations) and analyzing global events and geopolitical shifts.
International law comprises rules and principles governing the relations between states and international organizations, aiming to maintain peace, security, and justice. A rules-based international order refers to a global system where states adhere to agreed-upon norms, treaties, and institutions, rather than relying solely on power politics.
