Public International Law: Public International Law is different from Private International Law.

Private International Law is the body of rules for determining questions as to selection of appropriate law, in civil cases which present themselves for decision before the courts of one state or country, but which involve a foreign element i.e., transactions that had been entered into, wholly or partly in a foreign country or with reference to some foreign system of law. It is more popularly termed as 'Conflict of Laws'.
