The term “international law”can refer to three distinct legal disciplines:

Public international law, which governs the relationship between provinces and international entities. It includes these legal fields: treaty law, law of sea, International Criminal Law , the Laws of war or International humanitarian law and International human rights law .
Private International Law , or conflict of laws, which addresses the questions of 1 which jurisdiction may hear a case, and 2 the law concerning which jurisdiction applies to the issues in the case.
Supranational law or the law of supranational organizations, which concerns regional agreements where the laws of nation states may be held inapplicable when conflicting with a supranational legal system when that nation has a treaty obligation to a supranational collective.

The two traditional branches of the field are:

jus gentium – law of nations
jus inter gentes – agreements between nations
