This book explores how rules of conduct evolved between states, examining the diverse legal practices observed from antiquity to the modern era, across civilizations and empires. It challenges the notion that international law is solely defined by commands from a sovereign authority, arguing that rules of conduct have been consistently observed between states since the time of the Israelites. The author posits that these rules originated from tribal and customary practices, gradually evolving over centuries to encompass concepts of territoriality, sovereignty, and neutrality. Through detailed analysis of historical documents, treaties, and legal theories, this book traces the development of international law as a distinct body of rules governing relations between states, highlighting its significance in fostering cooperation and maintaining peace.
