International laws are developed through a collaborative process involving treaties, customary laws, and agreements among states. Organizations like the United Nations play a key role in facilitating discussions and drafting treaties that become part of international law. Enforcement of these laws is often dependent on voluntary compliance, as there is no overarching global authority. However, mechanisms such as international courts, sanctions, and diplomatic pressure can be employed to encourage adherence. The effectiveness of international laws often hinges on the cooperation and commitment of individual states.
