Summary
Good faith is the object of a surprising consensus. Most authors writing about good faith as a general principle of international law stress that it is an essential element for the very existence of the international legal order. In other words, without good faith, it would be impossible to have international law. At the same time, they also agree that good faith escapes any precise definition.
