Abstract/Description:

Since the adoption of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, a great number of international scholars and lawyers have spent considerable time trying to clarify the concept of jus cogens. They have not been very successful. As the chapter helps to reveal, there is still a huge divide between different international lawyers’ respective conceptions of jus cogens.
