One of the main characteristics of international law is the relationship between different countries. The jurisdiction that may hear a case is also a characteristic of international law.
International law is different from national law because international law is not enforced. All it is is a system of treaties and conventions that prevent other countries from doing things that are wrong. For instance, if you make a treaty with Britain to not force the US to join back with them, they can't "legally" do that. If they do, we can tell the countries around them to not do anything with them, and then they will suffer the consequences. This is different from national law because you get a punishment for violations of any law that your nation provides. You cannot make international laws without treaties and conventions because there is no superior court to deal with them, except the International Court of Justice. The international court of justice is where representatives get together to decide if a country has violated its treaties or other internationally-agreed conventions.

In international law, the general principle is that the jurisdiction of an international tribunal in contentious matters is based on the consent of the parties to the dispute. Therefore, it is essential that they express their consent to the jurisdiction of the tribunal in order for it to be able to settle the difference that has arisen between them.
