Absolute Justice

Natural law is the search for absolute justice. As it's above all, it is the basis for laws. The idea of natural law started with Aristotle. At the beginning, the Roman law was only for the Romans. After, it was designed for the whole Empire. They concluded what is common and created the Ius Gentium - the nature law for all nations.

International law- there is a problem which casio or gmat, as who has the right to tell a nation what to do. Every nation have it's own independence, is sovereign. The international law shouldn't based on power but on mutual relationships. The natural law is the basis of the International law.

The importance of International law was raised during the Nuremberg trials. The witness said that what ever they have done had been in the name of the law. The problem is that positive law is not binding when it goes against natural law - they did not obey the Natural law.

The problem of the natural law - it's not easy to define what nature is. Nowadays, equality and freedom from slavery are natural considered as part of the law. On the other hand, the Catholic Church is against artificial insemination and contraception - as they are against nature.
