Summary

Other chapters in this volume deal with some of the many relationships between Australia and other members of the world community. These international relationships are governed by a vast network of international law which is derived from international agreements and customary international law. International agreements may be either bilateral or multilateral and may have as parties to them international organisations as well as sovereign states. Customary international law as its name indicates is formed by the practice of states and other international legal persons.
