Abstract

Positivism as a method to identify and interpret International law is nowadays often criti- cized. In order to better understand and evaluate the criticisms, it is helpful to trace back the ori- gins of such an approach and reflect on its core tenets. It is maintained that, while there are issues which may not be understood through a strict positivist lens, this methodology remains today the closest to the reality of international law-making.
