Abstract


Transnational law is a law that regulates and limits the actions of states. In its application, many of the methods permitted by transnational law are used by a stronger state to coerce the attitudes and actions of a weaker state. Despite its uncertain effectiveness, this phenomenon is a common occurrence and often ends in violations of the human rights of the people of the affected countries.
