The Principle of Good Faith in Public International Law
description
Honesty, loyalty and reasonableness together refer to the principle of good faith in contemporary private law. The principle of good faith historically emerged as a natural law principle deriving from Roman law of nations, the universal set of rules applicable for all mankind. However, it also has immense historical effects on the early modern theories of international law. Being based on natural law and morality, good faith is well-equipped to be a fundamental standard of behavior in contemporary international law concerns. Good faith manifests itself as pacta sunt servanda as the basis of international treaty law. As a principle referring to honesty, loyalty and reasonableness, it guarantees the prohibition of the abuse of power and provides equitable solutions in legal relationships between sovereigns and private actors. Accordingly this article examines the application of the classical Roman principle of good faith in international law from a transhistorical perspective to clarify its contemporary applications, taking refugee law as an example. It concerns itself with the fundamental elements of good faith, the historical emergence of the principle, its relationship with early modern international legal theories and its contemporary significance in refugee law.Received: 23.10.2019Accepted: 29.12.2019Published online: 03.07.2020

El principio de buena fe surgió históricamente como un principio de derecho natural derivado del Derecho romano de las naciones, el conjunto universal de reglas aplicables a toda la humanidad. Sin embargo, también tiene inmensos efectos históricos en las primeras teorías modernas del Derecho internacional. Al estar basada en la ley natural y la moral, la buena fe está bien equipada para ser un estándar de comportamiento fundamental en las preocupaciones del derecho internacional contemporáneo. La buena fe se manifiesta como pacta sunt servanda como la base del derecho internacional de los tratados. Como principio que se refiere a la honestidad, la lealtad y la razonabilidad, garantiza la prohibición del abuso de poder y brinda soluciones equitativas en las relaciones legales entre los soberanos y los actores privados. En consecuencia, este artículo examina la aplicación del principio clásico romano de buena fe en el Derecho internacional desde una perspectiva transhistórica para aclarar sus aplicaciones contemporáneas, tomando como ejemplo el Derecho de los refugiados. Se ocupa de los elementos fundamentales de la buena fe, el surgimiento histórico del principio, su relación con las primeras teorías jurídicas internacionales modernas y su importancia contemporánea en el Derecho de los refugiados. Recibido: 23.10.2019Aceptado: 29.12.2019Publicación en línea: 03.07.20202020text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7483935(Revista) ISSN 0423-4847Estudios de Deusto: revista de la Universidad de Deusto, ISSN 0423-4847, Vol. 68, Nº. 1, 2020 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Five Centuries Sailing The Legal World (II)), pags. 43-59engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
