6 The treatment that Lukashuk and Shinkaretskaya accord the sources of international law represents a case in point. Whereas Tunkin saw international legal norms as stemming primarily from treaties (Tunkin, supra note 5 at 147), Lukashuk and Shinkaretskaya recognize treaties and custom alike as sources of international law, inter alia ( Lukashuk, I. I. and Shinkaretskaya, G. G., Meihdunarodnoepravo. Elementarnyy kurs (Moscow: Yurist, 2003) at 2229 passim).Google Scholar

7 The shift accords with Macdonald’s view that Soviet international legal scholarship has bequeathed few valuable directions to post-Soviet jurists, particularly on “the organizational framework of an evolving international legal community.”
