CUSTOMARY LAW
Customary Law is a type of legal system that serves as the basis of, or has influenced, present-day laws in approximately 40 countries – mostly in Africa, but some in the Pacific islands, Europe, and the Middle East. Customary law is also referred to as "primitive law," "unwritten law,". There is no single history of customary law such as that found in Roman civil law, English common law, Islamic law, or the Napoleonic Civil Code. As the term implies, customary law is based upon the customs of a community. Common attributes of customary legal systems are that they are seldom written down, they embody an organized set of rules regulating social relations, and they are agreed upon by members of the community. Although such law systems include sanctions for law infractions, resolution tends to be reconciliatory rather than punitive. A number of African states practiced customary law many centuries prior to colonial influences. Following colonization, such laws were written down and incorporated to varying extents into the legal systems imposed by their colonial powers.
