It is estimated that over 160 million people died during the wars of the 20th century, many of which included acts of torture and genocide. International law is often described as being the “general principles of law” that civilized nations throughout the world recognize, and modern international law aims to protect humans against these atrocities among others. This program gives more specific details and insight about this broad definition of international law and discusses a range of topics that include: international and domestic law, the importance of international tribunals, courts and the UN, information about organizations such as the IMF, NATO and the Red Cross, and other topics relating to international law.
