- English abstract
- The principle of lex specialis, which is that in the event of a normative conflict (or the particular normative corpus depending on the circumstances) trumps, is a principle of Roman law whose application to the law international has long been recognized, both by publicists and (Grotius, Vattel, Puffendorf) than by courts and tribunals International. While it has a long history, the principle is the subject of in recent years of renewed attention in the context of the great disciplinary debate at the beginning of the 21st century on the "fragmentation" of the law and the normative conflicts it engenders.
