• Prof. J. G. Starke has stated that: “International law consists of a system of laws, the majority of which applies to states but also regulates activities of individuals and international organizations when it becomes the concern for the international community.”
• Schwarzen Berger: International law is body of legal rules which apply between sovereign states and such entities which have been granted international legal personality.
