Abstract:
Since Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice
in 1945 incorporated international customs into the sources of international
law, how to accurately define the two constituent elements of customary
international law: national customs (material factors) and legal beliefs
(psychological factors) has become an important issue. Another unresolved
issue of international law. Two traditional identification methods: strict
induction and flexible deduction have played an important role in the judicial
practice of the International Court of Justice. The same two identification
methods also reflect different ways of identifying customary international law.
自1945 年《国际法院规约》第38 条将国际习惯纳入国际法渊源之中,如何准确地界定习惯国际法的两个构成要件:国家惯行(物质因素)和法律确信(心理要素)成为一个重要而又未决的国际法问题。两种传统的识别方法:严格的归纳法和灵活的演绎法,在国际法院的司法实践中发挥了重要作用。同样这两种识别方法也反映出识别习惯国际法的不同思路。
