The Law

Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author). TVA Films (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: The law is a set of rules found in all organized societies. In the modern world, many key aspects of human existence are governed by laws: registration of births, school attendance, traffic, taxation, business, procreation, and the pronouncement of death. This program discusses the application of law to regulate human conduct, including the subject of global human rights. But can any international law successfully influence sovereign nations that consider themselves independent of outside jurisdiction?
