| 单词 | Law of nations |
| 释义 | 國家之間的法律、萬國公法 The sum of the rules accepted by civilised states as determining their conduct towards each other. ‘Law of nations’ was formerly synonymous with international law. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, classical international law regarded states or nations as its sole subjects, and the law of nations as the body of law exclusively regulating the interrelations of states. Today non-state entities are also regarded as subjects of international law. The law of nations is not obligatory as there is no superior body in which to enforce its rules, though United Nations decisions have a persuasive force on Member States. Also known as ‘public international law’. See also Letter of safe conduct; Public international law. 被文明國家接受為決定他們之間應如何被此對待的規則之總結。「國家之間的法律」以前與國際法同義。在16及17世紀時，古典國際法認為國家為主體，而國家之間的法律為純粹規管國家相互關係的法律。今天，非國家實體亦同樣被視為國際法的對象。因為沒有較高的主體執行規定，國家之間的法律並非強制性的，縱然聯合國的決定就成員國間具說服力。另稱「國際公法」。另見 Letter of safe conduct; Public international law。 |
