II. Comment on the following

1. International law is part of the common law. (B. Pigott).

2. Who saves his country violates no law. (Napoleon Bonaparte).

3. International law, like the moral law, is part of the law of England, but only to the extent that the Courts will not help those that break it. (C.B.Pollock).

4. A great part of the law of nations stands upon the usage and practice of nations. It is introduced, indeed, by general principles: but it travels with those general principles only to a certain extent: and, if it stops there, you are not at liberty to go further, and to say, that mere general speculations would bear you out in a further progress— thus, for instance, on mere general principles it is lawful to destroy your enemy; and mere general principles make no great difference as to the manner by which this is to be effected; but the conventional law of mankind, which is evidenced in their practice, does make a distinction, and allows some, and prohibits other, modes of destruction. (Sir W. Scott, "The Flad Oyen").

5. The voluntary law of nations derives its force from the presumed consent of nations, the conventional from their express consent; the consuetudinary from their tacit consent. (Wolfus, "Jus Gentium").
