Abstract

The paper focused on the importance and significant roles of international law and organisations in promoting world order in the twenty-first century. It posits that both serve as instruments for promoting global peace and order in the anarchical world, protecting collective goods, social regulation of international actors, and the handling of global problems, amongst others. The paper adopted a descriptive research design and expressive data collected from secondary sources such as books, journals, periodicals and other published materials. Data analysis involved the use of a prescriptive-interpretive approach. The paper discovered that international law and organisations are indispensable in the management of global affairs as they create room for global understanding, global economic development and platforms for solving mutual problems that are beyond the capacity of a single state. The paper recommended that through constant reviews of international law, the strengthening of international law and organisation with institutional financing and increased enforcement capability and sustainable diplomatic relations with states, the world order will be stable and predictable.
