Jus inter gentes, is the body of treaties, U.N. conventions, and other international agreements. Originally a Roman law concept, it later became a major part of public international law. The other major part is jus gentium, the Law of Nations. [1] Jus inter gentes, literally, means "law between the peoples". [2]
This is not the same as jus gentium, argues Francisco Martin and his co-authors in "International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law" (2006), [3] because jus inter gentes includes internationally recognized human rights.
