Question

Custom could be derived from law of nature or mutual consent of both the parties. (True / False)

Answer 1

The answer will be true

Answer 2

True, Custom could be derived from the law of nature or mutual consent of both the parties.

Explanation:

• The law of nature and mutual consent or in terms, the 'law of nations': These two sources, however, were deeply and inextricably intertwined.
• An observed custom could be evidence of either a principle derived from the 'law of nature' or of mutual consent.
• Rules of international law could be derived from natural reason, but customary international law should have evidence of what natural reason is required.
