Pytania, które chcą postawić Organizatorzy w związku z tematem konferencji to:

• What are the rules, if we can talk about rules, that regulate the functioning of sources of international law and of customary international law in particular?
• Is the classical paradigm of state practice and opinio iuris still valid today?
• Are there alternative approaches that can offer a better model describing the emergence and functioning of rules of customary international law? 
• Can customary international law be interpreted? Are rules of customary international law open to interpretation in the same way as treaty rules? 
• Do domestic approaches to customary law differ from those in international legal scholarship? What lessons can be learned (or tools adopted) from domestic approaches to customary law? 
• Is hermeneutics relevant to customary international law? 
• Is there a difference between the interpretation of state practice compared to the interpretation of a rule of customary international law? 
• Where do the lines between identification, interpretation, application and modification of a rule of customary international law lie?
