“The rule which determine the
conduct of the general body
of civilized states in their
mutual dealings”
Oppenheim
"Law of Nation or International Law is
the name for the body of customary
and conventional rules which are
considered legally binding by civilized
states in their relation with each other.“ http://www.preservearticles.com/2012011020419/what-are-the-drawsbacks-of-the-
definition-of-international-law-given-by-l-oppenheim.html
Oppenheim (9th edition)
“International law is the body of rules
which are legally binding on States in
their intercourse with each other.
These rules are primarily those which
govern the relation of Organisations
and, to some extant, also individuals
may be subjects of rights conferred
and duties imposed by International
law.” http://mayank-lawnotes.blogspot.com/2007/01/public-international-law.html
Brierly
“ The Law of Nations or International
Law may be defined as the body of
rules and principles of action which
are binding upon civilized States in
their relations with one another.”http://mayank-lawnotes.blogspot.com/2007/01/public-international-law.html
J G Starke
“ International law may be defined as
that body of law which composed for its
greater part of the principles and rules of
conduct which states feel themselves
bound to observe, and therefore, do
commonly observe in their relations with
each other,
and which includes also :(a) The rules of law relating to the functioning of international institutions or organisations, their relations with each other, and their relations with states and individuals; and(b) certain rules of law relating to individuals and non-state entities so far as the rights or duties of such individuals and non-state entities are the concern of the international community.
