Legal and ethical matters

چکیده
As David and Brierley (1968) pointed out, each political society in the world has its own law. In fact, it frequently happens that several laws coexist within the same state. Moreover, law is not static; it is in a state of flux, of evolution. The development of the law is shaped by logic, history, custom and utility, as well as the accepted standards of right conduct (Cardozo, 1921). It is therefore not surprising that the contributions of outstanding jurists, for example Kelsen (Tur and Twining, 1986), should have ranged over the whole field of international relations, justice, law and logic.
