There is no sense of duty or obligation to follow them(references customs as rules of conduct for defined situations that are of long duration observed without deliberation or thinking. ) Conventions are rules that involve a sense of duty and obligation. Pressure to conform is exerted through disapproval on those who do not conform. The central difference from law lack specialized personnel to instrumentalize coercive force.
