    I found An Hertogen's article on Letting Lotus Bloom very interesting and making an excellent point about the lack of use of a consent theory with respect to customary international law. When one looks closely at the famous paragraph from the majority opinion, the recognized nature and reach of customary international law has been staring at us -- especially given the word "or" and the word "generally." I cite the S.S. Lotus Case as one among others that recognize that customary international law can be based on "general" patterns of opinio juris:
    The Case of the S.S. Lotus (France v. Turkey), P.C.I.J. Series A, No.10, at 18 (“International law ... rules ... binding upon States ... emanate [1] from their own free will as expressed in conventions or [2] by usages generally accepted as expressing principles of law,” which can relate “to the achievement of common aims”).
