Customary International Law


Customary law is one of the oldest sores of international law which generates the legal binding
rules between states. Customary law is not a written source. Instead, it is like a requirement
between states to grant immunity to the head of state when he/she is in that other country. Under
customary law, the term “opinio juris” has to be included which is translated as “a brief in legal
obligation”. A legal rule like this requires every state to accord the head of state from another
country appropriate immunity as a legal duty to do that.
International Court of Justice (ICJ) provides that the acts concerned to be settled with must not
be done but also must be carried out in a manner which they have evidence of a brief because the
practice is rendered obligatory by the existence from the rule that require that action. The states
concerned in every law must not only seem to abide but also feel that they are appropriately
conforming with the legal obligation.
