The Creation of International Law during the Feudalism

AbstractThe major preoccupations of international law scholars and of national states were the holding and the strengthening of peace, getting the war outside the law, the promotion and the observance of the international law norms, the cooperation between states, the world security. From the father of the international law science, Hugo Grotius we have the ideas regarding rules and principles of international law, the importance of their respect of their, the need of the understanding and cooperation between states, rules regarding the carrying of war, the need for drawing rules, for eliminating the cruelties of wars, the importance of concluding some treaties between countries which must be observed and applied with good faith.An important role in getting and strengthening peace is given to the multi-lateral cooperation through conventions, understandings, multilateral treaties concluded between states, with the aim of harmonising the international relationships. The areas of interest of peoples have gradually evolved, so that there appeared the need of extrapolating the consolidation of the interstate relationships, going beyond the framework of the bilateral agreement between states. By analysing the evolution of history, one can notice that the states have tried to adopt different ways and manners in order to prevent conflicts and to maintain peace. These ways have translated into practice by the need for the conclusion of agreements or multilateral treaties. Basically, the multilateral cooperation of states in the creation and the application of the norms of international law has resulted in the conclusion of peace, alliance and mutual aid treaties, military, commercial, political, economic, cultural, technical and scientific treaties, and the conclusion of international conventions, regionally and worldwide, through the participation in the international conferences or through international organisations. The purpose of this study is to identify the norms of international law that were created during the feudal age and the contributions of the time scholars to the international law
