“…120 Precisely because of this juridical vacuum, the members of the bench have felt compelled to hammer out their own approach to dealing with facts in individual cases without much textual guidance. 121 An area where this has induced a culture clash of sorts is the standard of proof, i.e. the degree to which a claimant must demonstrate to a tribunal's satisfaction that the assertion holds true.…”

This article makes the case for greater attention to be given to the role of national legal culture in the making and practice of international law. The merits of this contested notion as a tool for gaining new insights are discussed, as is the legal cultural approach embedded in the broader field of study known as "comparative international law". In an effort to demonstrate the utility of engaging with this concept, the focus turns to the inner legal culture of international law, which is composed of lawyers, judges and other professionals. It is argued that there are two factors of influence which allow for domestic elements to seep into international law. The first relates to individuals, via the inculcation of parochial values, whereas the second takes on a structural dimension, through inter alia the general principles of law and the "equitable geographical representation" requirement found in the statutes of many intergovernmental bodies. This theoretical framework is subsequently applied to the International Court of Justice, a suitable case study on account of it being a meeting place of various juridical traditions. At the individual level, judges and counsel appearing before the ICJ are considered. As regards the structural level, certain institutional features conducive to domestic influences are highlighted. Finally, the article identifies and briefly discusses three themes in the jurisprudence of the ICJ where national legal cultures have left their mark: analogies to municipal law, the manner and style in which the outcome of cases are justified and the debates surrounding the standard of proof.

“…16 Разлика није увек јасно уочљива, прво због несавршености која је инхерентна језику као начину изражавања, друго, због настојања да се иста становишта изразе на јединствен начин, у складу са пређашњом праксом, и треће, одлука суда треба 15 Имајући ово у виду, као посебан проблем се јавио проблем употребе појединих израза који се не могу лако превести на српски језик, а који и у радним језицима суда имају више синонима. Стога је било неопходно да се изрази ставе у заграду, што иако оптерећује текст, чак и на местима где можда на први поглед то није потребно, се показало као нужно, будући да би употреба тог истог израза у неком другом значењу могла да се схвати дргачије него што нам је то била намера.…”
