A quick definition of foreign-relations law:

Foreign-relations law, also known as international law, is a set of rules that govern the relationships between countries and other international organizations. It also includes the rights of individuals in relation to these entities. Customary international law is a key source of this legal system, which is different from private international law, which deals with conflicts between different legal systems. While the name "private international law" can be confusing, it is simply a part of each country's private law.

A more thorough explanation:

Foreign-relations law, also known as international law, is the legal system that governs the relationships between nations. It includes not only nations but also international organizations and individuals who invoke their human rights or commit war crimes.

Customary international law is one of the principal sources of the international legal system. It derives from the practice of states and is accepted by them as legally binding.

Private international law, also known as international conflict of laws, deals with legal disputes that involve more than one country. It is a part of each legal system's private law and is often confused with public international law.

For example, if a person from one country gets into a car accident in another country, private international law would determine which country's laws apply to the case. This illustrates how private international law deals with disputes of a private nature, even if one of the parties involved is a foreign state.
