John Austin, the giver of the Command Theory of Law, states that international law is not true law. According to him international law is not law as it has no sovereign. Austin stated that law is a subdivision of command. He characterized a command as:
an insinuation or articulation of a wish to do or stay away from accomplishing something, upheld by the ability to do damage to the actor on the off chance that he resists.
