Concurrently, those who are not parties to a treaty are only under the
control of customary laws.
Another point raised by the author was the essence of codifying laws. I
agree with the author on this one because I have seen the importance
of explicitly laying down laws to a tangible form. Written laws possess
more authority as compared to those that were just made through
word of mouth, for the reason that the written form will serve as a
basis that a particular law really exist, thus shall be made enforceable
to anyone who takes the risk to transgress. With this I have seen the
essence of having a treaty. It makes the state parties liable in case
they violate the laws , which they had formally concluded and agreed
to.
Lastly, I have also caught sight of the complexity of International law,
most especially on issues of implementation. The mere fact that it
governs several countries already makes it acomplicated with the
presence of diversity in each nation. As a result, difficulties in
enforcement have caused many to question whether international law
is really law.
