Question and options
International Law is weak law because
- there is no international legislature or any international court with a compulsory jurisdiction
- there is recurrence of war and armed conflicts across the world
- there is a substantial proportion of the world population living on less than one dollar a day
- there is no codification of international law
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - there is no international legislature or any international court with a compulsory jurisdiction
International law is called weak mainly because it lacks a central legislature and an international court with compulsory jurisdiction (and an enforcing authority). Wars, poverty and lack of codification are not the standard reason.
