Public International Law

Legal analysis and advice concerning relations between states, international treaties, international legal responsibility and the resolution of international disputes.

Public international law establishes the legal framework governing relations between states and regulates the rights and obligations of states and other subjects of international law.

Public international law governs relations between states and addresses the legal status of other actors holding rights and obligations under the international legal order. International treaties, state responsibility, diplomatic relations and the settlement of international disputes are among its principal subjects.

Matters arising under international law are assessed with reference to relevant treaties, customary international law, general principles of law and other applicable sources of international law.

The systematic interpretation and application of international legal rules are important when assessing the nature of a dispute and the international obligations relevant to the matter.
