This
paper explains that international law differs in major areas from
domestic law: (1) The
scope of international law is much wider than the scope of domestic law; (2) Domestic law is the guideline that defines the relationship between
specific bodies, the government, and the citizens, but there are no specific bodies in international law; and (3) International law is
voluntary, whereas, domestic law is largely involuntary. The author points out that, when laws are first proposed, countries or states agree to them or reject them on the basis of their
political interests. The paper concludes that international
relations should be regulated according to the principles of international law as determined by the United Nations and its different organs.
