THE SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
THE SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

Summary/Abstract: International law represents the totality of its component elements - international legal norms. Its norms have visibly determined relations and connections, outside of which certain norms cannot act and be applied. Like a whole, the entire international law acquires determined integrative features of regulator of the international social relations. A norm taken individually, without links to other norms, obviously does not have such traits. The integrated features of international law as a system of norms really allow for its relatively independent and special existence and operation. It remains, however, to identify the relations and connections between international legal norms that bind them together in a coherent, relatively autonomous legal system. Unfortunately, the issue of the systemic constitution of the relations and connections within international law has not actually been approached in the domestic theory of international law.
