In this informative video, we’ll explain the process by which countries establish and accept international law through their actions and beliefs. We’ll start by defining what state practice is and how it reflects the behavior of nations in their daily dealings, including treaties, diplomatic activities, and military operations. We’ll discuss how widespread and consistent these actions need to be for them to influence international law. Then, we’ll explore opinio juris, which is the belief or feeling that certain practices are legally obligatory, demonstrated through official statements, diplomatic notes, votes, and legal opinions. We’ll explain how the combination of these two elements—practice and belief—leads to the formation of customary international law. This process is vital because it helps create binding rules that guide many areas such as human rights, environmental protection, and rules of warfare, even when no formal treaty exists. Understanding how countries develop and accept these shared norms is essential for grasping how the international legal system functions and promotes cooperation among nations.
