International law is an important part of the world. It
helps to increase global harmony and peace. In addition, it's vital for
developing countries who can't afford to pay for legal help. International law
also protects the rights of individuals that live in a country that is not
their home.
One major area of international law is human rights. This
includes things like freedom of religion, equality between men and women,
voting rights, and more. The United Nations’ Universal Declaration on Human
Rights outlines the basic principles of human rights that all countries are
required to follow.
Additionally, international law regulates how nations
interact with one another. It handles issues such as borders and trade,
refugees, weapons trade, terrorism, piracy, nuclear proliferation and more. In
fact, without international law we wouldn't have global peace! Read on as Ari
Afilalo, a specialist in international law, explains more about how important
international law is to our world today.
