Vattel in his work titled Droit Des Gens (The Law of Nations) stated that the “necessary Law of Nations” contains those precepts that are dictated to States by natural law and equally binding on both States and individuals. Since States are composed of persons and their policies are laid down by persons, these persons are subject to natural law in whatever capacity they act. He held the view that to overview and control the conduct of another State by one or more States would be contrary to the law of nature. This viewpoint has the genesis of the doctrine of fundamental rights (Vattel cited in Starke, 1989).
