Abstract

Charlotte Ku and Paul F. Diehl noticed that at first sight, 'international' and 'law' sound contradictory: "how can one imagine a structured and developed legal system functioning in a political environment that is diffused, disparated, unregulated and conventionally described as anarchic?" Indeed, the 'instinctive' breaking down of the term tends to confirm that. In modern Western democracies, law is seen as a 'set' of legislatures, police and courts which create law, enforce it and punish those who violate it whereas 'international' is associated with the United Nations, the global level and economic, cultural and political differences. Is this impression of incompatibility justified? Can it be overcome? considering "the extent to which international law (IL) is law, or 'really law' or 'law properly-so-called'" requires, firstly, defining what is meant by international law, law, 'really law' and 'law properly-so-called'. Secondly, it calls for attempts to relate these terms to each other. Both stages entail a critical analysis of some prejudices and surface discrepancies. This is the purpose of this essay.
