Law & Hist .: The name given by Bentham to what had previously been called the Law of Nations. It arose gradually during the latter part of the middle ages, when commerce and navigation, not very flourishing during the prevalence of the feudal system, began to revive with its decline. At first it took the form of commercial usage, then it was promulgated in "royal ordinances," and finally became tacitly recognized as commercial law. Then it was extended to all international transactions, even though not commercial. It is divided into three departments: the principles that should reg ulate the conduct (1) of states to each other; (2) of private parties arising out of the conduct of states to each other; (3) of private parties as affected by the separate internal codes of distinct nations. Its leading principles are three: (1) that every nation po e es an exclusive sovereignty and jurisdiction in its own territory; (2) that no state or nation can by its laws directly affect or bind property out of its own territory, or persons not resident therein, natural born subjects or others; (3) that whatever force the laws of one country have in another depends solely on the municipal laws of the latter. The tendency of international law is to prevent war. In-ter-nă-tion-al-Ism, s. [Eng. international ; -ism.] The principles or objects advocated by the Internationalists. In-ter-nă-tion-al-ist, s.
