Conclusions: International Law for Humankind – Towards a New Jus Gentium

Abstract

In the course of the last century International Law has undergone an extraordinary development, which gradually took the shape of an historical process of its humanization. Beginning of the XXIst century, we effectively have the privilege to witness the process of humanization of International Law, which comes to occupy itself directly with the realization of common superior goals. The recognition of the centrality of human rights corresponds to new ethos of our times. Such process of humanization manifests itself, in author view, as he have been sustaining for years, in all domains of the discipline: the foundations of International Law, its subjects, its new conceptual constructions, the basic considerations of humanity permeating all its chapters, and the quest for the international rule of law for the realization of justice and maintenance of peace. Such process, in turn, discloses the new jus gentiumof our times, the International Law for humankind.Keywords:humanization; humankind; International Law; Jus Gentium
