In international law, the following are considered primary sources:
1. **Treaties** - Treaties are formal agreements between states and are a primary source of international law.
2. **General Principles of Law** - These are recognized by civilized nations and can also serve as a primary source of international law.
3. **Judicial Decisions** - While opinions of international courts can be seen as secondary sources, they often reflect and interpret primary sources of law, so they have significance in establishing legal principles.
**Scholarly Writings** are not considered primary sources; they are typically classified as secondary sources since they analyze, interpret, or critique primary sources.
Therefore, the correct answers are:
- General Principles of Law
- Judicial Decisions
