Explanation

International custom remains a fundamental source of international law alongside treaties and general principles. The reason correctly explains why - customs develop through consistent state practice combined with opinio juris (belief that practice is legally obligatory), gradually reflecting the norms and values of the international community. This evolutionary process makes customs particularly valuable as they emerge from actual state behavior.
