International law and middle conciliating the irreconcilable

Abstract

International Law has been shaped by the western family law tradition and so are the institutions that regulate the interaction of the international community. The fact that this set of rules has been created by a group of states with a determined set of mind different in many crucial aspects to more that the other half of the world’s population is a major cause of conflict. The role of some of the international organizations is affected by the attempt of some states to homogenize the International System, the reaction this provokes on the states which are some how obliged by the system itself to converge in some matters by nature irreconcilable with the western perspective.
