The Perspective of "Justice" of International Law in the Global Context

After the Cold War and the quick development of globalization, non-state acts by international organizations, transnational corporations and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), etc., are becoming more active. Global issues with regard to, inter alia, environment, human rights, terrorism are constantly emerging, which bring great challenge to the Westphalia System that is based on state sovereignty and centered on the national state. At the same time, the values, which include "individualism" and "global justice," are constantly casting impact on international legal system. Doubtlessly, in the current context of international relations, "justice among states" is still the reasonable positioning of the value of modern international law. However, making "individualism" and "global justice" compatible and modifying " justice among states" is an inevitable trend. At the same time, the rule brought about by the modification on the value of justice must be handled properly.
