3. General principles of law

The general principles of law are those principles which have got recognition from all the states and by all the legal systems of the world.

They provide a mechanism to address international issues not already subject either to treaty provisions or to bindin customary rules.

Principles refer to : - certain principles and procedures

- principles and good faith

- principles of res judicata (once there is a final judgement there is no possibility to appear to the decision)

Judicial decisions of the municipal courts:

The laws of a specific state and decisions of the municipal courts are not in general, source of international law, since, they do not create legally binding obligations for other states.

Some decisions are so important that hey settle precise rules for the future. It's a source of law by delivering a judgement, h will influence the view state have on international law.

Example of significant judicial decisions PPT 42

5. Writings of the publicists (subsidiary source)
