What would be the advantages and disadvantages if the world had one consistent set of laws to govern all people in all countries?

Of course, it makes a huge difference if this globally consistent set of laws is well designed, fair, and based on democratic principles, rather than being arbitrary and dictatorial. Just because the whole world would have one consistent set of laws, does not in itself make the world better or worse, but a good quality set of laws, especially if the laws were accompanied by some effective method of law enforcement (since the best laws in the world will be useless if they are not enforced) could do a tremendous amount of good, by creating legal mechanisms for non-violent resolution of conflicts, by making global commerce much easier, by giving people more secure and peaceful lives, by eliminating the rampant government corruption that presently exists in most parts of the world, and so forth.
It could be argued that the world should not really have one consistent set of laws because different populations in different locations have different needs, different traditions, different problems etc., and they need to have laws that are tailored to their particular situation, but I don't personally believe that. A well designed body of law would work well for everybody, even though some people would doubtlessly need some time to get used to the idea.
But it is also true that if the laws are badly designed or badly enforced, then all you would be doing is creating a horrible and oppressive global tyranny. So this scheme could work very well or very badly, depending upon how it was done.
