SORU:

How can we distinguish between the terms custom and usage?


CEVAP:

Usages are habits, often repeated but conflicting. They also vary from one State to another. On the other hand, custom is self-consistent and unified. Usage represents the twilight stage of custom. Custom begins where usage ends. However, it is not necessary that a usage should precede a custom or that a usage becomes a custom. Similarly, there is no international rule that determines when usage shall culminate into a custom.
