The origins of the idea of the law of nations – the ius gentium – are not to be found in the early modern period. It was first articulated by Greek and Roman classical philosophers and jurists. In the Institutes of the Roman jurist Gaius (130–180), the ius gentium is closely associated with the ius naturale. “Every people”, Gaius wrote, “that is governed by statutes and customs observes partly its own peculiar law and partly the law common to all mankind. That law which a people establishes for itself is peculiar to it, and is called ius civile as being the special law of that state, while the law that natural reason establishes among all mankind is followed by all peoples alike, and is called ius gentium as being the law observed by all mankind.”[1] Gauis’s distinction between ius naturale and ius gentium lies in the notion that the origins of this law lie in human reason while ius gentium represents its application.[2]

<i>ius gentium</i>: law of nations
Lucía posted while I was writing this:
Yaotl is right; this is in effect international law, but in this context I think we should use the term "law of nations". "Derecho de gentes" is the direct Spanish equivalent of "ius gentium", a branch of the tradition of Roman law. "International law" grew out of it, but is really a twentieth-century term. In the 1820s, the period this refers to, the term in general use in English, corresponding to "derecho de gentes", was "law of nations".
"The origins of the idea of the law of nations – the ius gentium – are not to be found in the early modern period. It was first articulated by Greek and Roman classical philosophers and jurists."
http://www.nlnrac.org/earlymodern/law-of-nations
"The ius gentium or jus gentium (Latin, "law of nations") is a concept of international law within the ancient Roman legal system and the Western law traditions based on or influenced by it. The ius gentium is not a body of statute law or a legal code, but rather customary law thought to be held in common by all gentes ("peoples" or "nations") in "reasoned compliance with standards of international conduct.""
