The phrase "international law' is too broad to have an exact meaning, or definition, as a "system" of law. Some International Laws are in effect all the time - international maritime law for one example - laws for the rules of conduct for ambassadors and consular officers for another. Other so-called international laws are applicable between those countries that choose to subscribe to them. However, in instances where a country or nation chooses not to participate, they have no legal standing.
