R. ARGES, Joaquín. The resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and international custom. Rev. Fac. Derecho Cienc. Polit. - Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2021, vol.51, n.134, pp.239-260.  Epub 04-Ene-2022. ISSN 0120-3886.  https://doi.org/10.18566/rfdcp.v51n134.a10.

This article studies the question of the sources of international law. In particular, we analyze custom as a source of legislation. We take care of its evolution from the classical Ius Gentium to the modern ways of generating customary law through the governments' international practices.

The idea is to reflect on whether certain decisions of the United Nations General Assembly that achieve some specifics can create new international customs. We also consider the consequences that may arise from these decisions.

Palabras clave : International custom; General Assembly; sources; Ius Gentium; United Nations.
