Hi, I have been struggling on this Canadian and international law (CLN4U) practice question. This is the question: Match the following terms to the definitions. For example, 1. a

Terms:

1. Bilateral

2. Convention

3. International Law

4. Treaty

5. Customary Law

6. General Principles

7. Jus Cogens

8. International Criminal Court

Definitions:

a. certain fundamental, overriding principles of international law, from which no derogation (This means an exemption or relation of the rule.) is ever permitted.

b. a treaty or agreement that affects or is applicable to the two sides equally.

c. an agreement or accord between two or more nations to regulate an issue of international interest.

d. set of laws governing the international community.

e. binding international agreement between two or more separate, equal and sovereign states.

f. the big ideas such as erga omnes which means that the law or legal act applies to every individual, person or state without distinction.

g. a practice or unwritten rule that has come to be accepted as law over time; consists of two parts - opinio juris and state practice.

h. governed by the Rome Statute, is the first permanent, treaty based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes.

I hope this helps. Thanks.
