Theory of Sources
Where does international law come from?
− Code of international law?
− International parliament?
− International legislation?
International law is made on a decentralized basis by the actions of States which make up the
international community
Consensual (positivist) theory
Article 38 ICJ Statute
Hierarchy of Sources
Primary sources – law creating
Treaties, international custom and general principles of law
Based on the consent of States
Subsidiary sources – law identifying
Judicial decisions and teachings of highly qualified publicists
Courts cannot make law, they apply the law
Hierarchy between the primary sources?
