This process contributes to the continuous development of international law, the transferred concepts being formed in accordance with long-standing national legal experience. Hence, the international legal order benefits from progress in national law. However, problems may arise from the fact that the domestic legal concepts in question have been developed in and for national law, i.e. for a different legal system based on particular legal assumptions. This study's central question is therefore, whether concepts, whose provenience and normative meaning are rooted in the domestic law, can also adequately be used on the public international legal level and which methodological prerequisites must be met for a transfer of national law concepts into international law to work.deVölkerrechtInnerstaatliches RechtRechtsgrundsatzRechtsbegriffTransformationEDIS-4880PrinciplesRechtsgrundsätzetransferinternational lawdoctoral thesis
