Asylum_Case_(Colombia_v._Peru)
Asylum case
1950 International Court of Justice legal case
Colombia v Peru [1950] ICJ 6 (also known as the Asylum Case) is a public international law case, decided by the International Court of Justice. The ICJ recognised that the scope of Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice encompassed bi-lateral and regional international customary norms as well as general customary norms, in much the same way as it encompasses bilateral and multilateral treaties.[1] The Court also clarified that for custom to be definitively proven, it must be continuously and uniformly executed.
