Discuss the main sources of International law.

The main sources of international law are treaty law, international customary law and general principles of law recognised by civilised nations.

Treaty law

Treaties and Conventions are written agreements that states willingly sign and ratify and as such are obliged to follow. Such agreements, which are also called statutes or protocols, govern the mutual relations between states. They are, however, only binding on those states that have signed and also ratified the particular treaty.  

The Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties of 1969, sets out the fundamental legal rules relating to treaties. The Vienna Convention defines a treaty, identifies who has the capacity to conclude a treaty, and outlines treaty interpretation, disputes, and reservations.
The basis of treaty law is  ‘pacta sunt servanda’, which means that agreements must be honoured and adhered to.

Reservations, declarations and derogations

Many states are involved in the process of drafting a treaty, which often includes stark disagreement on the scope and content of the agreement. In order _________ ________ _________ _________ ________.
