UNIT I- INTRODUCTION
This Unit deals with the origins, historical development and nature of International
Law. It delves into the concept of legal personality and subjects of International
Law, states as traditional subjects (conditions of statehood, territory, sovereignty
and other underlying8 principles, position of individuals) international organisations
and other non-state actors. Further, it explores the relationship between Municipal
Law and International Law, underlying theories (Monism and Dualism) and country
specific practices (U.K., U.S.A, Russia, China and India). Lastly, it throws light on
the importance of codification of International Law and the challenges in that
direction.
