Das heutige Völkerrecht: ius gentium oder ius inter gentes?
The International Law today: ius gentium or ius inter gentes?

Summary/Abstract: After the years of an indiscriminate Globalization, it is to see if a universal statute of international law does really exist. Under a substantial aspect, the so called ‘Global Law’ didn’t come to be an accurate law-system. And this for several reasons: first of all, the problems of settlement, accountability, justiciability of the decisions (in a broad sense) are yet to solve. All that is so despite the fact, the Global Law is not considered formally a de iure cathegory. Other eminent Authors tried to take the concept of ‘Universal Constitution’ out from the main acts of international law, with special regard to the UN norms. The argued arguments are remarkable and in some way very original. Thank to these theories, it is possible to establish some compass points in the relations between international and regional institutions, for example UN and European Union. The fact is that no one can affirm the existence of an undiscussed (or at least most accepted) authority at international level. Notwithstanding a new kind or relations between these actors is now arising: ius gentium or ius inter gentes?
