The absence of absolute economic independence or self-reliance therefore compels the states to relate with one another in their abysmal drive towards economic, social, cultural and political satisfaction for their citizens. There are set of rules to guide the relationship among the states became expedient, in order to avoid or at the least, limit anarchy and chaos-a situation violent conflict hence, international law. It recommended that all issues of international law should be justiciable.
