The main provisions of Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court. Charter of the United Nations. UN International Court

These acts must meet the requirements of normo education.

Along with the above sources international law There is a concept of "soft law", which includes recommendatory acts or software installations international organs and organizations, first of all, it applies to acts (resolutions) of the UN General Assembly.

Article 38 of the Statute of the UN International Court of Justice contains a list of sources of international law, on the basis of which the court must resolve disputes. These include:

  1. international Conventions, both general and special, establishing rules definitely recognized by the arms of arms;
  2. international custom as proof of universal practice recognized as a legal norm;
  3. general principles of law recognized by civilized nations;
  4. court decisions and doctrines of the most qualified specialists in public right There are various nations as an auxiliary tool to identify legal norms.

An international treaty is an agreement between states or other entities of international law enclosed in writing, containing mutual rights and obligations of the parties regardless of whether they are contained in one or more documents, as well as regardless of its specific name.

International custom is proof of universal practice recognized as a legal norm (Art. 38 of the Statute of the UN International Court of Justice). The international custom becomes a source of law as a result of long-lasting repeatability, i.e., a sustainable practice is the traditional basis for the recognition of custom as a source of law. Perhaps the formation of custom in a short period of time.

How is it there international Conferences Agreement as a result of the conference was created specifically for the development of an international treaty of states, which is ratified and enacted.

The acts of international organizations include the acts of the UN General Assembly.

Sources of international law are the official-legal form of the existence of international legal norms, custom, contract and law-conducting decision of an international organization. They represent the external form of consolidation and expressions of the norm of international law.

The concept of "source" covers not only the form of existence of the norm, but also a way to create it, for example, with the help of a contract or custom. The term "sources of international law" is firmly established in theory and practice. The sources of international law says, for example, in the preamble of the UN Charter. All this, however, should not lead to the simplification of related issues.

Since the sources are the method of creating and forming the existence of norms, their types should be determined by the international law. According to the latest generally accepted sources of general international law are the contract and custom.

When determining the circle of sources, it is customary to refer primarily on Art. 38 of the statute of the UN International Court of Justice. It says that, solving disputes based on international law, the court applies

1) Convention,

3) General principles of law recognized by civilized peoples. General principles of law are general legal rules that are used when applying specific legal norms,

defining the rights and obligations of subjects of law. (for example, "listen to the other side"; "The burden of proof is assigned to the side presented the claim"

4) as auxiliary meansfor determining legal norms, court decisions and doctrines of the most qualified specialists may apply.

Decisions are divided into four varieties:

1) decisions on procedural and technical issues;

2) decisions made on the most important issues of international relations;

3) solutions obliging the power of which follows from the general principles and norms of international law;

Doctrines of international lawyersthere are views of experts in the field of international law to the problems of international law and are important to interpret the norms of international law and their further improvement.

Article 38 is subjected to a reasonable criticism. There is nothing surprising. It was formulated after the First World War for the Permanent Chamber of International Justice. The regulatory material of that time was insignificant. Hence the indication of the possibility of using general principles of law, as well as as auxiliary means - court decisions, works of specialists.



On the other hand, more important acts are not indicated - resolutions of international organizationsTo which today is an important role in the general process of the formation of the norms of international law, the results of which are associated with the form of a contract or custom. Their role is significant and in the interpretation of existing norms. Nevertheless, these resolutions are rarely direct source of international law. In such as they act mainly within the framework of the supranational international Associationssimilar to the European Union.

The contract and custom are universal sources, their legal force follows from the general international law. In contrast, law-conducting solutions of organizations are considered specialsources. Their legal force is determined by the constituent act of the relevant organization.

Under the international treaty means an agreement between states or other subjects of international law concluded in writing, about the establishment, change or termination of mutual rights and responsibilities.

Under the international customary according to Art. The 38 Statute of the International Court is understood as the proof of universal practice recognized as a legal norm. Conventional norms are folded

in international practice and are recognized as subjects of international law as a mandatory rule of behavior. Customs should be distinguished by customs, that is, the rules of international politeness and etiquette. According to the general understanding of the doctrine and practice of international law, the term "custom" includes two different understanding of the institution under study.

First, this is the process of creating the rule of law. Secondly, we are talking about the legal norm formed as a result of this process, which from now on receives the name of the usual norm. Thus



in one case, in one case, we can talk about international normorates, and in the second - about the material product of the creation of norms - legally binding rules of behavior in the form of an internationally legal conventional norm. In pursuance of Art. 38 In the case when the court "applies the International Custom", we are dealing with the usual legal norm, and if the "proof of universal practice recognized as a legal norm is implemented, then the process of feed production, in which the development occurs New usually legal norm.

Taking into account bilateral significance and it is assumed to be consideration of international custom as one of the sources of international law.

History

Permanent Chamber of International Justice

The first international judicial body intended for peaceful dispute resolution was the Permanent Chamber of International Justice (PPPP) established in 1920 under the auspices of the League of Nations.

The Chamber was created and funded by the league of nations, however, the Chamber was not part of the League, and its statute was not part of the League Statute. The state that became a member of the League was not automatically part of the Statute of the PPMP. On the other hand, several hundreds of contracts were signed, providing for the jurisdiction of the PPPM on disputes related to these treaties.

In the period from 1922 to 1940, PPPs made decisions on 29 disputes of states and adopted 27 advisory conclusions, of which almost all were fulfilled. The Chamber also made a significant contribution to the development of international law. Its activity was interrupted by the Second World War, and then, in 1946, together with the Liga of Nations, the Chamber was dissolved. The successor of the Chamber was the UN International Court of Justice.

Institution of the UN International Court

At this conference it was decided to create a new judicial body, which, in accordance with the final adopted article 92 of the United Nations Charter, "is the main judicial authority of the United Nations" and is valid in accordance with its Statute. In accordance with the same Regulations, the Statute of the International Court of Justice, which attached to the Charter of the United Nations, forms an integral part of the Charter. The statute was adopted unanimously together with the Charter at the end of the Conference on June 25, 1945 and entered into force in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 110 of the Charter on October 24, 1945.

For the first time, the court gathered on April 3, 1946 in the palace of the world and on April 6, elected his chairman, vice chairman and secretary. The first chairman of the court was elected judge José Gustavo Guerrero (Salvador), who was the chairman of the PPMP until her dissolution. On April 18, 1946, the International Court held his first public meeting.

Article 96 provides the General Assembly and the Security Council the right to request advisory opinions from the International Court for any legal issue.
