, Question 1
Name the theory/principle/doctrine/concept that is being referred to in each of the
statements below:
1) One of the most time-honoured principles of international law is that which enjoins
States to implement their international obligations in good faith. (1)
2) This is the vehicle through which customary rules become part of the municipal legal
system. (1)
3) In many countries, and without more, treaties enjoy equal status with municipal law.
(1)
4) This doctrine does not apply in international law, irrespective of the similarity between
the issues and dispute. (1)
5) “A collectivity of States established by treaty, with a constitution and common organs,
having a personality distinct from that of its member-States, and being a subject of
international law with treaty-making capacity”. (1)
[5]
Question 2
‘There is no hierarchy among the sources of customary international law listed in Article
38(1) of the ICJ Statute. It is, in fact, nothing but an exercise in futility to attempt to
justify a ranking of some sort among these sources.’ To what extent does this statement
represent the true nature of the provisions contained in Article 38(1) of the ICJ Statute?
[10]
Question 3
‘“The general principles of law recognized by civilized nations” means general principles
of international law.’ Critically examine this statement. [15]
