For example, the principle of nonintervention is a general principle of international law that applies to all countries.

A more thorough explanation:

A general principle of law is a widely recognized principle that applies to legal systems at a certain level of sophistication. It can also give rise to international legal obligations. This principle is recognized in all kinds of legal relations, regardless of the legal system to which it belongs.
