An Overview of Public International Law

About

This webinar provides an introduction to the five sources of international law, as defined by Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice and the Restatement 3d: Foreign Relations Law of the United States. Both of these are considered prominent authorities on the creation and evolution of public international law. The presentation introduces and explains many of the resources featured in the recently updated research guide from the Law Library of Congress, “Public International Law: A Beginner’s Guide.” The presentation provides an introduction to treaty practice and international conventions, international customary law and its relationship to international law, general principles of law as they relate to international law, and a final category covering other evidence for international law. The presentation also briefly discusses the inclusion of international governmental organizations, such as the United Nations, within the framework of international law.
