English term or phrase: required as a matter of law
‘Customary International Law: International law comes from both treaty law and rules of what is known as customary international law. Treaties are written conventions in which States formally establish certain rules. Customary international law, on the other hand, is not written but derives from “a general practice accepted as law”. To prove that a certain rule is customary, one has to show that it is reflected in state practice and that the international community believes that such practice is required as a matter of law’.25 Thus, even a State that is not a party to the 1954 Hague Convention or to either of its Protocols, is still bound by the same rules that are customary law.

Explanation:
... is required as a matter of law = the law makes an obligation to do it that way

Obviously there are no written laws if some practice is only "customary", but if everyone is acting AS IF there is a law, then there is an assumption that this "customary practice" is a legal obligation.

disagree  Daryo: that's the translation for "necessary" which doesn't imply the element of "compulsion" // required = you MUST do it / do it that way and not some other way.
