Peter	The Perils of "Consensus": Hans Kelsen and the Legal Philosophy of the United Nations	2004	32	.pdf	application/pdf	16550	749	52	It may be objected that the individual state cannot be con- ceived as an order delegated by international law, because historically the states-the national legal orders-preceded the creation of general international law, which was estab- lished by custom prevalent among states. If we start from the validity of international law which does not require recognition by the state, then the mentioned constitutional provision [of adherence to and ratification of the international norm by the state] does not mean that it puts into force international law for the state concerned, but merely that international law-by general clause-is transformed into national law.	cache/iiclr-17820.pdf	txt/iiclr-17820.txt
