What is international law? An animated explainer

What is international law and why is it important? As the world sees the devastation caused by climate change, as the availability of fresh water becomes more and more limited, and as corporations become bigger than countries and race to Mars, what is the responsibility of countries and companies to current and future generations? What is the role of international law – and where is it lacking? Can it help protect individuals and manage the behaviour of countries and companies? Is international law even worth the paper it is written on?

We examine how individuals can use international law to create positive change – and even change the law itself.
