Abstract: | The principle that international customary law forms part of South African law was confirmed by the Appellate Division in Nduli v. Minister of Justice (1978 1 SA 893(A) at 906). The case not only affirmed incorporation, it also defined the limits of the international customary law which was incorporated. The article establishes precisely what kinds of international customary law may be regarded as being South African law and gives some guidance to the courts as to how these may be identified. It makes a distinction between universal, general, regional, and particular international customary law. Notes, ref. |
