Spanish abstract: A pesar de los mas recientes esfuerzos de codificacion llevados a cabo al interior de la ILC relativos a la identificacion de la costumbre internacional, la perspectiva de los dos elementos continua siendo solo una posible teoria explicativa de la fuente no escrita del derecho internacional. Sin embargo, es sabido que esta perspectiva ortodoxa esta minada de fallas e inconsistencias; una de las mas llamativas es la falta de participacion del sur global -incluida la region latinoamericana- en su mas reciente relanzamiento. Ademas de criticar este escenario carente de legitimidad suficiente, esta investigacion invita a considerar una perspeciva social de la costumbre internacional que concibe la fuente como un producto argumentativo. Este proceso de autoconciencia en lugar de ser un obstaculo se presenta aqui como una oportunidad para que la perspectiva Latinoamericana del derecho internacional sea reivindicada. English abstract: Despite the most recent efforts of codification carried out within the ILC concerning the identification of customary international law, the two-element approach remains just one possible explanatory theory of this non-written source of international law. However, it is almost publicly known that this orthodox perspective is nonetheless filled with flaws and inconsistencies; one of the most striking is the lack of participation of the south – including the Latin-American region- in its recent re-launching. Besides criticizing this scenario with no much legitimacy in it, this research invites a social perspective of customary law which conceives the source as an argumentative product. This process of self-awareness contrary to being an obstacle is here presented as an opportunity where Latin American interests can be vindicated.
