Explanation

กฎหมาย means “law,” and ระหว่างประเทศ means “international” or “between countries,” so the phrase refers to international law. It is used for legal rules based on treaties, customary international law, state rights and duties, diplomacy, human rights, maritime issues, armed conflict, and similar topics. The tone is formal and common in news, government, law, and academic contexts.

Usage

Use this term when discussing international news, diplomacy, war and conflict, human rights, treaties, international courts, or the United Nations. It is also natural as the name of a law or international relations course.

Caution

It does not mean “foreign law.” Laws of a particular country are domestic law, such as กฎหมายไทย for Thai law or กฎหมายญี่ปุ่น for Japanese law.
