Custom as a source of Law in International Trade: Tradition and Modernity

Abstract

The study explores the role and relevance of custom as a source of law in international trade, analyzing how it evolves in the context of modernity. The main objective of the research is to assess how legal traditions based on recurring commercial practices influence modern norms, providing stability and predictability in global trade relations. The study's main conclusion is that, although modernity brings new forms of regulation, custom continues to play a crucial role in filling legislative gaps and in the flexible adaptation of norms to the cultural and economic diversity of the parties involved.
