Give answers to the questions below. The answers do not have to be too long but they should answer the questions appropriately.

2.Realists believe that states have a natural inclination conflict, either due to the characteristics of human nature as classical realists stress, or according to neorealist, due to the shocking waves of the international system. International law and norms are dependent on the state’s will to keep peace and, whenever their interests favour war, then war it is.
