Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Under Art. 38(1) ICJ Statute the primary sources are "International conventions", "International custom" and "General principles of law recognized by the civilized nations"; judicial decisions, including the ICJ's own, are only a subsidiary means under Art. 38(1)(d), so "Decisions of the International Court of Justice" are not a primary source.
