Another force – global public opinion – is needed to strengthen and expand the scope of international law. Indeed, global public opinion, galvanized by the actions of NGOs, has pushed governments to sign treaties, such as the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, and to establish international institutions, such as the International Criminal Court in 1998.
另一大力量——全球公共舆论——也需要用来加强和扩张国际法的范畴。事实上，由非政府组织带动的全球公共舆论促使政府签署了不少条约，比如1997年的禁止地雷公约（Mine Ban Treaty）、成立了不少机构，比如1998年的国际刑事法庭（International Criminal Court）。
