    Who says "International law is a vanishing point of jurisprudence"?
    Question

    Who says "International law is a vanishing point of jurisprudence"?

    A.

    Brierly

    B.

    Holland

    C.

    Pollock

    D.

    Stark

    Correct option is B


    Sir Thomas Erskine Holland, an English jurist, famously described international law as "a vanishing point of jurisprudence." He meant that international law is less rigid and less enforceable compared to domestic law, making it seem less like "law" in the strict legal sense.
    Information Booster
    Holland’s observation underscores the complexity of international law, which lacks the centralized enforcement mechanisms typical of domestic legal systems, making its authority sometimes seem ambiguous.
    Additional Knowledge
    · Brierly, Pollock, and Stark: Renowned legal scholars, but the statement is attributed to Holland.
