Review of Literature

The international law and justice are having rules to be placed of treaties and be

identified by different nations to be combined together under the same ruling. The definition of

international law and justice from a professor of law, of how it had meant to him. That with the

international law there are different ways of defining it. For example, it can be an expression of

law or an expression of power. He's talking about that in a way you can say discusses the

different types of seeing international law and justice can be how the UN is advancing their way

in the process (U., 2013). There are other ways to be able to describe how international law can

be defined as, however, in the video, it explains it in more detail about the law and the justice

(U., 2013).

To understand how the UN would be developing their laws and criminal justice system

the following questions would help to clear things of the development, the explanation, and the

effect it’ll have on the people:

1. What is happening within the international law and justice?

2. How are the international laws trying to make it better for their nations?

3. How do the international laws and justice impact with the people?

These questions would help understand more about the literature review of stating

information of understanding about international law and justice, of the people, have influenced

the laws, and the role of the international laws.

What is happening within the international law and justice?

“International Law and Justice” from the United Nations global issues site. It talks about

the performance the UN is making progress within the “international law-conventions, treaties

and standards-central in promoting economic and social development”. The article talks about

how they are making it happen, how over the years they’re bringing in all these organizations are

advancing for them it is better. It even has the treaties from the past to show the history of getting

there today (International Law and Justice, n.d.).

Laurie R. Blank’s article talks about how to train within the international criminal law

aspect, about the taking responsibility, of how sentencing in training, and about taking control

within the state. Of taking responsibility, of how it's done and how its taking place within the

training. The sentencing within the training of how the issues are being produced by. How the

state would respond in the training is by understanding the individual's criminal past and taking

action of being played out and putting it into action from the training. The reason for this article

is because it focuses on how the training processes happening within the international law

(Blank, 2017).

How is the international laws trying to make it better for their nations?

They are wanting to make their “principal legal system” better of wanting to move

forward rather than back or no the same topic. The picture on the left shows how all the nations

are connected and by how

they’re connected to each

other. Which shows me they

are willing to take the time

and concern about what is

going on in their system

process (International Law

and Justice, n.d.).

According to Ingrid Wuerth, The UN is focusing on “two primary sources of

international law-treaties and customs”, which would state on most about the human rights

(Wuerth, 2017). The human rights laws are that all humans to have the constitutional, for

everyone to be treated the same. Which according to the Human Rights article the picture on the

bottom left is the “Universal

Declaration of Human Rights

(UDHR)” which states that all

humans are protected by this

law universally, which also

constants “more than 501

languages” within this

document (Human Rights,

n.d.). It helps people to be

able to be themselves, meaning following their own religion, their own cultural, and more.

Within the UN these rights are based into their policies and programs in order to have “peace and

security” for the people (Human Rights, n.d.).

Realizing that having these interest of making the nations better would please the people

of an actual participant within government activist and socializing net worths. Because focusing

on the people would help make the nations better than always having people fight against the

government and seeming to not ever move forward rather than backward.

How does the international laws and justice impact with the people?

international law for human rights. The article talks about how the international law sees human

rights and how to fix any problems. It even discusses how international law fits with human

rights. It talks about how human rights can be defined for this article, and developing ways for it

to basically fit into the international laws (Wuerth, 2017). “By contrast, US compliance with its

international legal commitments is generally high in the areas studied in this symposium, while

US leadership has been variable, high in some areas and absent in others. Disaggregating EU

support reveals similar nuances: while EU (European Union) leadership has indeed been

important in the areas of the environment and human rights, it has been more variable in other

areas, and EU countries have in several instances been divided amongst themselves, with both

leaders and laggards in evidence” (Pollack, 2015). Couldn’t have said it better than how Pollack

said how two different international nations law have stated between them. That how the EU

would focus more on the people and their environments, of wanting to make it better. Which the

picture to the left is part of the type of rights that the international laws are trying to focus on. As

mentioned before in the human rights law, these would be what the EU and UN international

laws would be focusing on about always

looking into about fixing for the better.

With having these types of rights and

laws it would impact the people in a good

way and keep the people in a pleasant

form of being involved with their

government rather against their government.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the international laws and justice system are wanting to have rules,

treaties, and customs for people to be able to safe and secure with. That the international law and

justice are coming along with wanting to develop their laws for most for the people, rather than

just wanting to make their nations sound good.
