International Public Law: Composition and Norms of Regulation

International public law is increasingly being implemented in national legislation. This fact is conditioned by the most banal, but from this not less important process - globalization. Therefore, it is important to clearly understand which sectors are the components of international law and through which acts they are regulated.

Branches of international public law

As in national legislation, there are special branches of public law in the international analogue. They are diverse and affect almost all spheres of activity of both states and ordinary individuals.

The most important among them is the section "The Law of International Treaties". This situation is explained by a simple fact: the industry is in fact the base for the functioning of the remaining components of international public law. It incorporates the legal regulation of the whole process of the creation, functioning and termination of international acts.

The second most important branch is the "Law of diplomatic and consular relations". In fact, it represents the continuation of the first industry and is its source.

Logically follows from the first two of the third branch - "The Law of International Organizations", which establishes all aspects of the activities of intergovernmental and other state-level unions and organizations. At the same level as it is located the "International Human Rights Law" branch.

Next, we should single out a block of industries aimed at organizing security. Among them are:

• The law of international security - which includes, including the suppression of wars of conquest;
• The law governing the basis of the territory of countries;
• International law aimed at combating terrorism, and more recently, the fight against international piracy;
• International humanitarian law ;
• Criminal law in the international context.

The next block was called "economic". It includes the following branches of public law: economic, labor, maritime, air and space. Although the latter can equally well be attributed to the next block.

International public law resolves issues that are also related to science. Therefore, a natural block was formed from the right of cooperation in scientific and technological progress, environmental, as well as the right to protect the world heritage.

The industry of international procedural law stands apart.

Apparently, international public law successfully covers all the most significant spheres of public life.

Sources of International Public Law

But the regulation of the above sectors occurs in a slightly different way than is customary in national legislation. In this case, the sources of public international law should be divided into two categories.

The first category can include the basic norms that are within the framework of generally recognized rules. Forms for the latter are the international treaty and international custom.

The first is both multilateral and bilateral. It can be called directly a treaty or convention, agreement, etc. The main condition is that it must be accepted by at least 2 states.

The international custom of such a procedure does not require. Its very name clearly indicates that this is an unspoken rule already adopted in relations between countries, and therefore does not require a special procedure for ratification.

The second block consists of derivatives and auxiliary sources. To them, international public law includes resolutions, international judicial precedents and doctrines.

From all of the above, it can be seen that to date international public law plays a significant role not only in the circle of its subjects, but also seriously affects the development of the legislation of countries.
