It was Jeremy Bentham who first coined the word international in a book published in 1789.[1] The term appeared for the first time aligned with the word jurisprudence. [2] International jurisprudence was put forward by Bentham to replace the term ius gentium or law of nations, what he deemed to be a misnomer: “The word international, it must be acknowledged, is a new one; though, it is hoped, sufficiently analogous and intelligible. It is calculated to express, in a more significant way, the branch of law which goes under the name of the law of nations: an appellation so uncharacteristic that, were it not for the force of custom, it would seem rather to refer to internal jurisprudence.”[3]
Bentham fathered the term international law which was eventually to replace the older phrase law of nations. Bentham explains in his text why he preferred to invent a new word. In discussing how jurisprudence may be classified, he suggests that it can be divided in terms of "the political quality of the persons whose conduct is the subject of the law" and he argues that "these (the persons) may ... be considered either as members of the same state, or as members of different states; in the first case, the law may be referred to the head of internal, in the second case, to that of international jurisprudence".[4] The older phrase law of nations, according to Bentham, refers to a certain discursive space only through the force of custom, or convention. However, he believed that a more appropriate designation should go beyond mere convention. According to Bentham, the phrase law of nations is a sign relying on the mediation of convention. Without the convention, "the force of custom," the phrase law of nations might be understood as one designating the domestic, municipal law of diverse nations. On the other hand, Bentham explains, that international is a term that stands in no need of the mediation of custom and convention. To put it more simply, Bentham proposed to replace the concept of the law of nations with that of the law between nations.
