Principle of International Relations
According to Hugo de Groot, stated that state relations will create equality between the countries involved in it, and realize a common interest for progress. In international relations, it is known by several principles which are based on regions and a scope of enactment of legal provisions for regions and their respective citizens.
There are three principles in international relations that influence each other, namely as follows:

1. Territorial Principle
The territorial principle is based on a state's power over its territory. In this principle, all citizens and all items in their territory are governed by a state law. So, for something outside its territory, an international law will apply.

2. Nationality Principle
The principle of nationality is based on a state's authority to protect its citizens. In this principle, a law of his country will apply to every citizen wherever he is. So this principle will apply even if citizens are in a foreign territory (not the territory of their country).

3. Principle of Public Interest
This principle is based on the authority of the state to protect and adhere to an interest in community life. In this principle, the State can adjust to all circumstances and an event that has to do with the public interest. So this principle is not bound to the boundaries of a country's territory.
These three principles are very calculated in establishing an international relationship. Because without these three principles a variety of international chaos will arise, therefore the relationship of a country and other countries must have a rule in the form of international law.

Pattern of International Relations
The pattern of relations between nations has 3 kinds, namely:
Colonialism of a nation over another nation, dependence of a nation on the direction of other nations and equal relations.

1. Colonialism
Colonialism is essentially a exploitation by one nation over another nation which is caused by a development of capitalist understanding, in which the invaders' corners will need raw materials for their industries and / or markets for their industrial products. The essence of colonialism here. that is a control over the territory of another nation.

2. Pattern of Dependency
This one pattern usually occurs in a developing country that lacks capital and technology to develop a country, forced to rely on an assistance of developed countries whose results will result in dependence on these developed countries. This one pattern of relationship is also known as neo-colonialism (colonialism in a new form).

3. Equal Relationship Patterns
This one relationship pattern is the most difficult to realize, but a very ideal relationship pattern because it strives to achieve mutual prosperity, in accordance with the second precepts of the Pancasila, which demands a respect for the direction of human nature as equal beings regardless of an ideology, form of state or system his government.
