How has the nature and scope of international society been conditioned by international legal instruments?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

International legal instruments such as the Montevideo Convention (Article 1) and the UN Charter have set the criteria of legitimate statehood and clarified the bounds of State action, so "They have defined the nature of legitimate statehood." It is wrong to say "Legal instruments have played no role, as international society rests on power alone."
