The source of most true international "law" is treaties, which are basically statutes agreed upon by nations, rather than national legislative bodies. They aren't fundamentally different from either type, depending on what kind of system is used to adjudicate disputes under said treaties.

To be honest, I know very little about "international law" so sure, it's probably a separate skill. :-)
