Answer 1

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
• Treaties
