Best Answer

'National' law is the law established in a single country, and applies only to the society within that country. International law is the law created between a group of countries to apply to all member societies.

EDIT

International law is not just a group of laws. International law consists basically of two parts: treaty law and customary law. Treaties are signed between nations in order to do / prevent something from happening.

Customary law is fundamentally derived from the Roman principle Jus Cogens. There are some basic principles (laws) that every nation must agree; every individual as well.

What is the difference between the incorporation system and the transformation system?

Under the doctrine of incorporation, a rule of international law becomes part of national law without the need for express adoption by the local courts or legislature. As a result the domestic courts have to apply a certain rule of international law as long as they there is no explicit contradicting piece of law or judgement. Differently from the latter theory, the transformation doctrine stipulates that rules of international law do not became part of national law until they have been expressly adopted by the state. To become binding on domestic authorities, the international law must transformed into national law through the various mechanisms for the national implementation of international rules freely decided upon by each sovereign State.

How HLA HART in the concept of law questions whether international law is really a law because it has few rules regarding how international law can be made or changed?

H.L.A Hart, in the "Concept of Law", questions whether international law is really law because it has few rules regarding how international law can be made or changed. This weakness is illustrated in part by the uncertainty surrounding how a customary rule of international law emerges and then when that rule has changed. Not only it is difficult to identify customary rules but, as with other rules of international law, and as opposed to national laws, there are also few mechanisms to enforce and make states obey them. Critically discuss the above propositions.
