Joseph Brazauskas
: The verb 'confoederare', meaning 'to form a league or alliance', is also a rare ecclesiastical term but may be used secularly here. If so, then the genitive is objecive.

This is just a hypothesis.
My first reaction was the same as yours, "united Nations", but it could well be for the same reasons "United States" with gentium in the meaning of country/state not race/nation.

: The USA is indeed often found translated as 'Civitates Confoederatae Americae' (vel sim.). I've never, however, come acros a degree in this field. And the ecclesiastical terminology is odd.

in the study of Foreign/International Relations
'Confoederatio' is a rare ecclesiastical term for 'covenant, agreement', apparently here used in a secular legal sense. 'Gentium' here therefore has its normal force in the Latinity of university diplomas, i.e., as a descriptive genitive, best translated by an adjective in English, such as 'international' or 'foreign' or perhaps 'diplomatic'.

: Your hypothesis is interesting but I think that in that case we would have "confoederationum gentium" = "study of the covenantS between nations".

: the idea of league, covenant, agreement, detaches too much from your 'relations', which In Latin would be 'rationes', comercium
