Good evening
I am thinking of writing "statutory codes" for this but I can't find any confirmation and, since it's legal, I don't really trust my intuition too much. All feedback most welcome.

customary rules

Hi Derek,
I suspect that "ordinarie" stands for "consuete/customary" here
http://indylaw.indiana.edu/library/International2.htm:
CUSTOMARY RULES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

The difficulty may come in determining what "customary law" is. International customary law is made up of two elements: (1) a certain procedure, rule, pattern of behavior, or conduct carried out over a period of time (not specified), and (2) an agreement (explicit or tacit) by nations that this procedure or conduct is obligatory as law. In short, a pattern of behavior without more is not sufficient to create a customary rule of international law.
