The Law of nations is a translation of Latin the juice gentium (people, gentis, meaning nation, people). This term indicates also the natural right and the international law, i.e. the right of the Nations: it is necessary to actually include/understand that it determines the relationship between the people from the point of view of the political community which they form, from the point of view of the States. One should thus say, with Kant, to avoid any ambiguity with the direction of people, man or nobody, the right of the States . People and nations must be taken within the meaning of State what is not obvious from the point of view of the French language which distinguishes these terms.
This expression is always used in certain French-speaking spaces, such as the Belgium.
