It is not a law that they must do so‚ rather a social obligation and even with that they do not have to.

This perspective of Suarez as occupying an intermediate position between voluntarism and naturalism has been questioned by Terrence Irwin. In Obligation‚ rightness and natural law‚ Irwin places Suarez squarely in the voluntarist camp when it comes to moral obligation and moral law.
