International legal theories

International legal theories are ideas about how different countries and governments should treat each other in order to ensure peace and promote trade between them. These theories help us understand the rules and regulations for international relations, and the consequences for breaking them. For example, one legal theory states that countries should always respect the sovereignty of other nations, meaning they should not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Another theory suggests that countries should work together to solve issues of global importance, such as climate change. Finally, one legal theory emphasises the need for countries to treat each other fairly and equitably in any dispute.
