[7. 5 pts legal competence; nation state, io, individual][5pt essay] The nation-state: werner levi; claimed that international law was created by nation states with the intention to serve as their tool and not their master. The key about the laws we have can be traced back to countries. And countries create laws to suit/meet their needs, if it works its not so much because of the law but b/c of the role played by nation states and the politics involved. They argue that a territory only needs to have sufficient consistency for it to exist as a state, claiming that defined boundaries are not required, this argument was made in 1945 by the german/polish mixed arbitration commission. The same argument we made about today"s israel[a country since 1948] b/c no one really knows where their boundaries end or began.
