The customary international law is deemed automatically to be part of the common law. This principle is known as ............

  • A.Blackstonian doctrine
  • B.Calvo Clause
  • C.Jus Cogens
  • D.Pacta sunt servanda

Answer: A

This principle is known as the Blackstonian doctrine.

William Blackstone wrote that the law of nations is adopted in its full extent by the common law and held to be part of the law of the land. This doctrine of incorporation means customary international law applies in English courts automatically, without a statute, unless it conflicts with an Act of Parliament.

The Calvo Clause is a contractual waiver by which a foreign investor gives up the diplomatic protection of its own state. Jus cogens means peremptory norms from which no derogation is allowed, and pacta sunt servanda is the rule that treaties must be performed in good faith.
