Which of the following jurist regard the controversy, “whether international law is a law, as a dispute about words and not of things” ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
T.J. Lawrence regarded the long controversy over whether international law is "law" as largely a dispute about words rather than things: the answer depends on how narrowly the word "law" is defined, while the rules themselves are in fact observed by States as binding.
Austin and Hobbes denied that international law is law in the strict sense, because there is no sovereign above States to command and enforce it, and Holland called international law "the vanishing point of jurisprudence".
