Which of the following statements are correct?
A. Holland remarked that international law is the vanishing point of jurisprudence
B. Holland was an analytical jurist.
C. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties provides that a treaty may be binding on third States as well.
D. Grotius and Vattel were positivists
E. The International Court of Justice recognizes the sources of international law under Article 36 (1) (e) of its statute.

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Holland's remark that international law is the 'vanishing point of jurisprudence' and his standing as an analytical jurist are both correct, and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (Arts 34-38) does allow a treaty to bind third States in defined circumstances, so the answer is "A, B and C only". Grotius and Vattel were naturalists (not positivists) and the ICJ's sources are in Article 38(1) (not 36(1)(e)), so statements D and E are wrong.
