treaties or conventions. . . .
International law becomes part of the law of the land when it is incorporated into domestic legislation through treaties, conventions, or other legal mechanisms. In many countries, international law is binding and enforceable within the legal system alongside domestic laws.
International law comprises all the treaties and conventions and international organizations which regulate the affairs among and between sovereign states and international organizations agreed to by the sovereigns.
The United Nations Law of the Sea (UNLOS) are conventions and international law governing the world's waterways. A major component to the UNLOS are demarcating domestic versus international waters, which remains a volatile issue in many littoral states.

In case you are looking for the hierarchy of norms in international law, I would say it is as follows (don't have a textbook at hand, so this is just an indication):Laws of international organizations with a strong supranational dimension featuring effective enforcement mechanisms, such as the EU.Laws of international organizations of intergovernmental character with effective enforcement mechanisms, such as the WTO.laws of less strong international organizations where enforcement is largely contingent on political backing (e.g. UN security council resolutions)international conventions (e.g. Kyoto Protocol, Hague Conventions)international customary law and principles (e.g. principle of reciprocity)
Yes, countries are bound by international law through treaties, conventions, and customary international law. This creates legal obligations for states to adhere to certain standards and norms in their interactions with other countries. Failure to comply with international law can result in consequences such as diplomatic sanctions or legal action.
Treaties between countries, decisions by the United Nations, and other conventions and generally agreed-upon rules (such as maritime law) that apply in more than one part of the world are examples of International law.
International law is different from national law because international law is not enforced. All it is is a system of treaties and conventions that prevent other countries from doing things that are wrong. For instance, if you make a treaty with Britain to not force the US to join back with them, they can't "legally" do that. If they do, we can tell the countries around them to not do anything with them, and then they will suffer the consequences. This is different from national law because you get a punishment for violations of any law that your nation provides. You cannot make international laws without treaties and conventions because there is no superior court to deal with them, except the International Court of Justice. The international court of justice is where representatives get together to decide if a country has violated its treaties or other internationally-agreed conventions.
