This paper presents the origin of the concept of “international law”. It is an essay on History of Ideas which begins with the great Roman authors and pervades the major Medieval writers until Francisco de Vitoria. Other Scholastics Spaniards and Hugo Grotius are intentionally sidelined since they demand more detailed studies. International law arises only when it becomes autonomous from natural law (albeit based on it) and encompasses truly international institutes (and not institutes of domestic law that exist in several countries).
