Everything about international law would (and does) fill several hundred volumes of text.

Even attorneys -- after law school -- study an additional year or two to get a masters in international law -- and that just covers the basics.

But summed up in 50 words or less -- international law is about treaties. Because one country cannot make another do something. That's called sovereignty. So, the only way one country can bind another is by mutual contract -- called a treaty -- where countries agree to limit themselves. The rest is politics.
