According to Pospisil's criteria, the four elements that must be present for a norm to be considered law are: authority (establishment by a legitimate authority), intention of universal application (intended to apply to all members of a society), obligation (a sense of duty or obligation to follow the norm), and sanction (the imposition of penalties for violating the norm). Internalization, while important in the formation and enforcement of norms, is not one of the criteria for a norm to be considered a law according to Pospisil.
