Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘jus cogens rules’.
- The jus cogens rules have been sanctioned by the four Geneva Conventions and its three protocols.
- They are rules in international law that are peremptory or authoritative, and from which states cannot deviate.
Select the correct statements
Correct
Solution (b)
JUS COGENS or ius cogens, meaning “compelling law” in Latin, are rules in international law that are peremptory or authoritative, and from which states cannot deviate. These norms cannot be offset by a separate treaty between parties intending to do so, since they hold fundamental values. Today, most states and international organisations accept the principle of jus cogens, which dates back to Roman times.
The jus cogens rules have been sanctioned by the Vienna Conventions on the Law of Treaties of 1969 and 1986. According to both Conventions, a treaty is void if it breaches jus cogens rules.
