Treaties And Customary Law

Summary

Treaties can become part of customary international law by codifying existing rules, influencing the development of new norms, and serving as evidence of state practice and acceptance of principles as law. They help formalize what countries already follow, introduce new rules that gain acceptance, and demonstrate consensus on legal standards.
