Jus inter gentes, is the body of treaties, U.N. conventions, and other international agreements. Originally a Roman law concept, it later became a major part of public international law. The other major part is jus gentium, the Law of Nations.Also referred to in the United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 10. Jus inter gentes, literally, means "law between the peoples".These are cognate, in the English language to justice, international, and gentiles, respectively.
This is not the same as jus gentium, argues Francisco Martin and his co-authors in "International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law" (2006),Treaties, Cases, and Analysis, Francisco Martin, et al. 2006 because jus inter gentes includes internationally recognized human rights.
