International Law in Practice

Highlights from the Office of the Chief State Law Advisor (International Law)

Abstract

The shifting and complex nature of contemporary international relations increasingly requires clear and coherent international law norms for the promotion of peace, security, promotion of human rights and socio-economic development. One of the challenges faced by states in working towards achieving the rule of law at the international level, is the proliferation of processes and fora in which international law norms are developed.
