What is Hierarchy of International Law Sources about?

The document discusses the hierarchy of sources of international law based on Article 38(1) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice. While some scholars argue treaties have priority, others believe treaties and customs are equally valid with priority given based on timing or specificity. The relationship between treaties and customs is complex, and the Court considers principles like lex specialis and lex posterior when resolving conflicts.
