- English abstract
- The identification of customary international law presents challenges. Many regular problems of identifying the content of legal rules arise particularly acutely (such as: some rules are inherently vague; large numbers of actors have to apply them; structured processes for reaching agreement on their content often do not exist, etc.). Moreover, the legal regime governing the identification of customary international law (the ‘identification regime’) itself is in dispute. This second challenge, which is specific to custom, forms the subject of the present inquiry. The article is written in German; it includes an English-language summary at 368-371
