+International business transactions occur within a web of legal frameworks. Some are national, like the legal systems of the parties’ countries, while others are international, like the systems created by various treaties or the rules of customary international law. Yet the division between national and international should not be overstated. In fact, as we shall see, international law penetrates and influences national systems in a variety of ways, while national laws and practices shape international law. To avoid misleading distinctions transnational law has been proposed.
+Private international law governs private law persons. Most private international law are rules to resolve collisions of private law i.e. of national law. There are few rules of international law which govern private law actors in their relations with other private law actors. Much of maritime law in my opinion is private international law, for it governs private law relations. There may also be a private international law of torts. Though the law of state responsibility i.e. international tort law might be seen as public law since it attributes public law rights and duties. Still, it is rather evident that there are international private law torts which reflect international criminal law: pirates are both criminals (public law) and tort-feasors (private law). Likewise with war criminals, slavers, and other criminals who break international criminal law: they are all also tort-feasors.
