The author analyses and systemises different questions, such as: the typology of peremptory norms beyond the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties; here he distinguishes between 'public order' \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e and mere 'public utility' \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e. Furthermore, what about relative \u003ci\u003ejus cogens,\u003c\/i\u003e such as regional \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e norms or conventional \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e norms? What about some consequences of \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e breaches in the law of State responsibility: are they themselves \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e? Thus, can individual war reparations be renounced by lump-sum agreements? What happens if different \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e norms are in conflict? Is there a difference between the scope of \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e in inter-State relations and its scope for other subjects of law, such as the UN and its Security Council? Is \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e necessarily predicated on the concept of a hierarchy of norms? What is the exact extent of the peremptory nature of some rules? Sometimes, only the core of a principle is peremptory, while its normative periphery is not. Also, in the use of force, the peremptory character of the provision is compatible with agreements falling under the recognised exceptions, such as collective self-defence. These and other unusual questions are discussed in the present book.","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43356211249407,"sku":"9781509917815","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_5c2f1d51-f7a4-453e-aa07-98d796ae1f3c.jpg?v=1706171797","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781509917815","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
