I learnt more from this 5-minute video than I did from a 2-hour lecture.😅

[@fabi8731]

Great if you wanna check that you actually understood the readings you did!

[@deszonandrews167]

what is the relation between convention and judicial Decisions , and also the relation between judicial decision and general principles?

[@lexicon_guide]

Conventions (treaties) are primary sources, judicial sources are used as a supplement (thus they are secondary). The position of general principles of law is unclear: some say they stand together with treaties and custom; some say that they have a separate standing in-between primary and secondary sources.

Great work ☝️☝️

[@valencirwehumbiza1579]

How do we use cases in supporting points ?

[@lexicon_guide]

Could you specify what do you mean?
Judicial decisions (=case law) are on the list of the sources of international law.

This was very helpful for my study of international law! Thank you!

[@burgundystv5885]

if one is to agree that international law is truly law as long as states are willing to comply how would you approach?

[@TuanPham-zc9dm]

Can you name some new or additional sources of international law

[@ishaima5995]

It’s very helpful, thank you so much, but I want to know what is the relation between custom and treaty law ?

[@lexicon_guide]

Thank you! Treaties and custom have equal standing, meaning that one does not dominate the other. However, many treaties represent codified custom - the way things are "traditionally done" is written down.

[@ishanjayasundara5220]

Thank you!

[@abgarharutyunyan4864]

what about jus cogens - peremptory norms. Surely those are in some way more superior than the other obligations.

[@vojinilic3398]
