The name of international law is that which is applied to the set of juridical and legal norms whose primary objective is to contribute so that the relations between the different national states are as orderly and congruent as possible in order to collaborate with relations of solidarity, peace and collaboration.
International law is one of the most important types of law since by its essence it is a type of right that exceeds the limits of a national state or specific region and that therefore must be respected by all the various states or entities that want to. be part of the international community. While each state or region has the prerogatives to establish its own system of laws and norms for the different areas of its existence and its idiosyncrasies, international law assumes a certain level of acceptance and subsumption to a set of norms and regulations. that are shared by all international entities.
International law is also very complex because it is made up of elements that are normally separated in the different regional codes such as tax law, civil law, commercial law, environmental law, etc. Thus, international law is a much broader set of norms and rules whose objective is precisely to regulate all the different levels of interaction that may exist between two or more states.
Although the diverse communities and human societies have always established different types of agreements and norms regarding the exchanges (economic, cultural, political, social) that exist among themselves, we can say that international law begins to be officially organized with the famous and very important Treaty of Westphalia signed in 1648 in that German town. This treaty put an end to several military confrontations that took place between some of the European states, regulating the peace relations that would exist in the future between them and signifying one of the clearest moments of control and regulation of international interaction.
