Introduction - International
law is not just a result of few treaties of 19th and 20th centuries but its
origin can be traced back to ancient times. Peace treaties between the
Mesopotamian city of Lagash and Umma are considered as beginning of
international law. The concept of governance and international relations
were developed by the Greeks, which laid down the foundation of the
international legal system. The concept 'Jus Gentium' (Law of Nation) was
evolved during the reign of the Roman empire, which defined and governed the
relation between foreigners and Roman citizens and the status of foreigners
living in Rome. Later, development of concept of Natural Law emphasized that
certain rights are inherent to all humans, which helped in widening the scope
of international law.
