OSCOLA (Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities) uses the footnoting system, i.e. no in text citations, just a number in superscript in the main body of your work (beside the text or quote you are using / referring to). This is linked to the same footnote number at the base of the page where you should provide a full citation, in accordance with OSCOLA guidance, to the resource you are using. OSCOLA requires a bibliography at the end of the work.
You can refer to the OSCOLA 4th edition guide www.law.ox.ac.uk/published/OSCOLA_4th_edn.pdf
for advice and examples on referencing cases and legislation from within the UK & EU jurisdictions as well as specific legal and government documents. This guide also deals with secondary sources such as books and journal articles, newspapers, websites and speeches.
You will find international sources are not included in the OSCOLA 4th edition guide, but the section on international materials in the 2006 guide https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/published/OSCOLA_2006_citing_international_law.pdf is still in use.
