Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how international law is divided into two types; public international law and private international law. The paper explains that public international law governs the relationship among countries, among nongovernmental organizations across boundaries. The paper questions why there must be a need for international laws and explains that the answers can be found in how countries and states respect international laws and their dealings with other countries.

The paper explains that citizens respect the law because most want to avoid conflicts that can be costly and may result in the loss of freedoms.
