Theories

o Law is not made, but found
o Universal values existing by nature and can be found through human reasoning
- Positive Law [John Austin]
o Law is not given, but man-made
o Law is made by sovereigns (States) and can be found in treaties
International law is positive law (so it’s not written in morality)
