Both 1 and 2
None of the above
Correct Answer:
Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
International law hence came to be a framework of rules and principles binding the relations between states and governing their conduct amongst themselves. It is a form of law which relies on consent-based governance to a great extent, as states are not ordinarily obliged to abide by it, unless they expressly consent to a particular course of conduct, though certain aspects are exceptions to the consent requirement, such as principles of customary international law and peremptory norms or jus cogens.
