Reference is given to the teachings of the titans of international law, such as: I. Lukashuk, I. Brownlie, A. Cassese, M. Shaw, K. Tomuschet, S. Rosen and others. The author identifies problems of doctrinal approach to the structure of international custom, which traditionally includes general practice and opinio juris, and considers an alternative model proposed by the Italian doctrine, which apart from opinio juris mentions opinio necessitatis.
