	International law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because international law is a new area of law its development is uncertain and its relevance and propriety is hotly disputed.
		International treaty law is comprised of obligations states expressly and voluntarily accept between themselves in treaties.
		Though states (or increasingly, international organizations) are usually the only ones with standing to address a violation of international law, some treaties, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights have an optional protocol that allows individuals who have had their rights violated by member states to petition the international Human Rights Committee.

	Law Commission
		International issues force a state to take a real account of what sort of country they wish to be and how they wish to be perceived by other countries.
		When the commission completes draft articles on a particular topic, the General Assembly usually convenes an international conference of plenipotentiaries to incorporate the draft articles into a convention which is then open to member States to become parties.
		The ILCs work around state responsibility is based on two presumptions: that States, as entities in and themselves, can commit crimes, and that they can be held accountable for their behaviour in law, even if not yet in practice since an authoritative world court does not exist to "try" states.

	Law Commission
		When the International Law Commission was formed in 1947 to fulfill the above mandate, the idea of developing international law through the restatement of existing rules or through the formulation of new rules was not new.
		Most of the Commission's work involves the preparation of drafts, that is, an article by article writing of the rules and their attendant interpretive commentaries, on topics of international law.
		The extensive deliberations on this topic, that await a final resolution in the form of an International Conference and a Convention, deal with the definition of the "State" and the extent to which States, as distinct from private entities, require or are entitled to immunity for their acts.
