A quick definition of jus naturae:

Jus naturae, also known as natural law, is a set of moral and legal principles that come from nature or divine justice, rather than from human-made laws. It is based on the idea that there are certain universal principles of right and wrong that apply to all people, regardless of their culture or beliefs. Natural law seeks to organize the ideal element in law, critique old received ideals, and give a basis for formulating new ones. It is often used to argue for the abolition of inequality or privilege.

A more thorough explanation:

Jus naturae (pronounced juh-s nuh-tuh-ree) is a Latin term that means "natural law". It refers to a philosophical system of legal and moral principles that come from a universal understanding of human nature or divine justice, rather than from laws made by governments or courts.

For example, some people believe that it is a natural law that all humans have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This means that these rights are not given to us by governments, but are inherent in our nature as human beings.

Another example of natural law is the law of gravity. This is a physical law of nature that governs how objects are attracted to each other. It is not something that was created by humans, but is a natural phenomenon that exists in the universe.

Overall, jus naturae refers to the idea that there are certain laws and principles that exist in nature and in human nature, and that these laws are the basis for morality and justice.
