At the most basic level the difference between international law and domestic law is clear; international law concerns itself with those rules and regulations governing the relationships between states, and to a lesser extent, between individuals from foreign states, whereas domestic law primarily deals with internal affairs. However, while the definition of domestic

- Self-interest and reciprocity: States obey international law because it benefits them. Reciprocity  is key in calculating benefit.

- Preference for order (rather than disorder):International law reduces uncertainty and confusion in relations among States.

-  Fear of isolation from the international community: Compliance enhances standing, reputation and opportunities fori
co-operation.

- Fear of punishment: If a State breaks the International Law, it may face reprisals from other states or the International Community as a whole.

- Identification with international norms. Particularly on issues attracting wide public support (eg, prohibition of  slavery).

3.
Individuals, groups and private bodies have become subject to International Law.

Non-state actors (eg NGO's) increasingly shape International law - drafting treaties and Conventions( like the Rome Statute which established the International Criminal Court.)

the purpose of international law has expanded to include management and regulation of inter-State behaviour - (like the WTO powers to dismantle tariff barriers )

the scope of international law has expanded from maintaining international order to shaping standards of global justice within state territories and involvement in State domestic affairs (e.g. international criminal law, treatment of refugees and women's rights.)

The "Question of Tibet" Amendment was passed by the US Senate in 1987. A small number of members of the U.S. Congress stirred up the Senate and the House of Representatives to pass a resolution welcoming the Dalai to the U.S. and to allow the Dalai to use the Congress to make statements advocating "Tibetan independence" in an attempt to split China and break the unity of the Chinese nation. This proposal is contrary to the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs under international law.

International law cannot be enforced in the manner of domestic law.
Domestic law is created by the government and reflects the will of a nation, so it takes precedence over other social norms. In the course of enforcement, domestic law is enforceable that is binding on all citizens, it is enforceable and it is accompanied by a system of punishment.
On the other hand, international law is designed to govern behavior between States and with international actors.
However, in the process of implementation, international law needs to be obeyed by the state, and only when it is recognized by the state can it operate effectively.

1) International law begins to transform into world law or supranational law. Global governance provides the background for the transformation of international law from interstate law to "world law" for the protection of human rights. The purpose of international law has expanded to include the management and control of acts between States, and its scope has expanded from the maintenance of international order to the setting of global standards of justice within the territory of States and participation in their internal affairs (such as international criminal law, the treatment of refugees and women's rights)
2)Extensive use of the International Criminal Court, which is not recognized by all United Nations member states
3) Developing the law of war into international humanitarian law

For example, the International Criminal Court investigates and hears cases of people accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity. This court applies “international criminal law.” The rules of international law are found in treaties, conventions, declarations, agreements, customs and other sources.

Q1:
Domestic Law is created by government , Law reflects the will of the State, takes precedence(is higher and more important than) over other social rules or norms, its jurisdiction(power) within the individual State's territory. However, International Law is govern states' behaviour between each other and with international actors. In addition, Domestic Law is compulsory(must be obeyed)and binding. Citizens cannot choose which laws to obey and which to ignore. Backed up by a system of coercion(power to force people to do something even against their will) and punishment.

International Law  is regarded as 'soft' rather than 'hard' law because getting States to obey is difficult ( there is no enforcement powers (police) or direct method to ensure compliance . For example, the UN Security Council can impose economic sanctions against a state or take military action but all the permanent members have to agree.

International law is all about behaviors and actions of persons, companies or states and countries in cross border situations. Domestic law arises from legislature that is created by a group of people within one country.

Q2:
1. Self-interest and reciprocity: States obey international law because it benefits them. Reciprocity is key in calculating benefit.
2. Preference for order (rather than disorder): International law  reduces ncertainty and confusion in relations among States.
3. Fear of isolation from the international community:
Compliance enhances standing, reputation and opportunities fori co-operation.
4. Fear of punishment: If a State breaks the International Law, it may face reprisals from other states or the International Community as a whole.

•      Non-state actors (eg NGO's) increasingly shape International law - drafting treaties and Conventions (like the Rome Statute which established the International Criminal Court.)

•      the purpose of international law has expanded to include management and regulation of inter-State behaviour - (like the WTO powers to dismantle tariff barriers)

the scope of international law has expanded from maintaining international order to shaping standards of global justice within state territories and involvement in State domestic affairs (e.g. international criminal law, treatment of refugees and women's rights.)

Q4:

The rules of international law are found in treaties, conventions, declarations, agreements, customs and other sources. For example, the Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement on climate change. In this protocol, many countries have agreed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in order to protect the environment.

Another example is the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Countries that have signed this convention must respect the rights it gives to children and make sure these rights are made known and protected.
