This article tells the story of the doctrine of customary international law in the 98 years between the moment of the introduction in July 1920 of the draft rules to be applied by the new Permanent Court of International Justice and the International Law Commission’s adoption in May 2018 of its 16 Conclusions on the identification of customary international law. This story of the doctrine of customary international law is not linear. It is tumultuous and pockmarked by a series of metamorphoses. In particular, the tumultuous story told here is articulated around four moments of rupture: 1920, 1927, 1986, and 2018. These four metamorphoses correspond to four different stages in the life of the doctrine of customary international law: the age of innocence (1920-1927), the age of dualism (1927-1986), the age of turmoil (1986-2018), and the return to innocence (2018-present). The story offered in this article is a story about the four lives of customary international law. The story told in this article is meant to repudiate a common historical narrative found in the legal literature that locates the current two-element doctrine of customary international law in Article 38 of the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice, from which the 16 Conclusions on the identification of customary law adopted by the International Law Commission are supposedly directly extrapolated. Through the story of the four lives of the doctrine of customary law offered here, the argument is made that, patterned after the Descamps formula, Article 38 of the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice was originally the receptacle of a monolithic understanding of the ascertainment of customary law which has, not without irony, been resuscitated by the International Law Commission in its recent work on the identification of customary international law.

习惯国际法的四大生命

本文讲述了习惯国际法学说的故事,在1920年7月引入新的常设国际法院将适用的规则草案与国际法委员会于2018年5月通过该规则草案之间的98年中其关于确定习惯国际法的16条结论。习惯国际法学说的这个故事不是线性的。它是动荡的,并有一系列的变质。特别是,这里讲述的动荡故事围绕四个破裂时刻进行了阐述:1920年,1927年,1986年和2018年。这四个变形反应对应于习惯国际法学说生命中的四个不同阶段:无罪时代(1920年) -1927年),二元主义时代(1927-1986年),动荡时代(1986-2018年),回归纯真(2018年至今)。本文提供的故事是关于习惯国际法的四个生命的故事。本文所讲的故事旨在否认法律文献中的共同历史叙事,该叙事在《国际常设法院规约》第38条中找到了现行习惯国际法的两要素原则,并从中得出16个结论。国际法委员会通过的关于习惯法识别的规定据称是直接推断的。通过此处提供的习惯法学说的四个生命的故事,人们得出这样的论点,即以Descamps公式为蓝本,
