«(...) la coutume, en droit international, apparaît comme résultant de précédents qui comportent une reconnaissance de telle règle comme faisant droit(opinio juris). Le Gouvernement, le législateur qui crée un précédent, invoque telle ou telle règle ou s’inspire de cette règle ou se conforme à cette règle comme étant une règle dont il admet l'autorité. Plus nettement encore le juge international qui crée un précédent jurisprudentiel le fait en fondant sa décision sur une règle qu'il considère comme une règle existante. Le précédent qui va dans la suite être retenu comme élément constitutif de la coutume est un acte par lequel celui de qui il émane a accepté telle ou telle règle comme étant une règle préexistante. » 1, record 4, French, - pr%C3%A9c%C3%A9dent%20jurisprudentiel
