NATURE AND SOURCES
International law is composed
of the rules and norms which regulate state conduct.
Traditionally, international law is based on two fundamental
principles, sovereignty and the consent of states.
Sovereignty has been defined
by the international Court of Justice as: ...the whole body
of rights and attributes which a State possesses in its
territory, to the exclusion of all other States, and also in
its relations with other States.
