The Peremptory International Norm and Its Implications In International Law / وائل احمد علوان المذحجي (1)

Abstract

The rules of international law have not be longer equal in their legal value and in their binding  force. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969 laid a kind of gradient between peremptory norm and other international rules.

The Peremptory International Norm is a general rule of international law that represents the international community a higher order than the other rules of the international legal order. They may not be breached or agreed to be breached and may only be amended by a later rule of general international law, because they are not intended to protect the individual interests of countries. They are aimed at the best interest of the entire international community, It must therefore be accredited and accepted by the international community, and should not be inviolable or otherwise lack its purpose.
