THE QUESTION OF SOURCES OF LAW CONCERNING INTERNATIONAL WATERCOURSES

Abstract

Parry explains the practical dimension of the different interpretations of
the sources of international law as follows:
“The ultimate purpose of such an enquiry [as to what the sources of
international law are] is to find out what international law is. It is an essential
preliminary step in that enquiry because, if attention be directed to the wrong
sources, it is impossible to discover what international law is or, what is
perhaps more important, what is not international law.
