ABSTRACTWilhelm Wengler, Professor Emeritus of the Free University of West Berlin, examines in his course the four paradoxes encountered by a jurist trained in the domestic law of a Western state: it is its system of legal sanctions, which is decisive for conceiving public international law as a legal order; there is no legal rule given for the judicial determination of concrete violations of international law; its importance in international life is greatly reduced although the distinction between the discussions related to existing law and to the introduction of changes in international law is generally recognized; and public international law remains focused on the coexistence and maintenance of plurality of States although it is not a priori limited with respect to its content or subjects.
Wilhelm Wengler, professeur émérite de l'Université libre de Berlin-Ouest, étudie dans son cours les quatre paradoxes que rencontre un juriste formé au droit interne d'un Etat occidental : c'est son système de sanctions juridiques qui est déterminant pour concevoir un droit international public en tant qu'ordre juridique ; il n'existe pas de règle juridique prévoyant la détermination judiciaire de violations concrètes du droit international ; bien que la distinction entre les discussions relatives au droit en vigueur et celles relatives à l'introduction de changements dans le droit international soit généralement reconnue, son importance dans la vie internationale est grandement réduite ; bien qu'il ne soit pas a prior i limité en ce qui concerne son contenu ou ses sujets, le droit international public reste concentré sur la coexistence et le maintien d'une pluralité d'Etats.
