Emphasis is put on the subjects and classical sources of international law, on the contemporary law-making mechanisms, and on the agents of rights and duties in the international legal order. Additionally, thorough examination is provided regarding the relation between the international and the domestic legal orders, as well as the concept of sovereignty under the spectrum of international law. Further examination is provided for the exercise of competencies and jurisdictions in international law, and particularly their respective spatial exercise (ratione loci) according to the international law.
