, Question 1




While there is ongoing controversy in doctrine on many norms suggested for jus cogens, it

appears to be widely accepted to classify a few fundamental norms.




1.1 Define or explain the meaning of jus cogens? (3)




1.2 List five (5) examples of what are generally accepted jus cogens norms. (5)




1.1 Jus cogens refers to a concept in international law that denotes peremptory norms or
principles that are considered fundamental and non-derogable. These norms are recognized as

having a higher status than other customary or treaty-based norms and are binding on all states,

regardless of their consent.

1.2 Five examples of generally accepted jus cogens norms are:

1. Prohibition of genocide: The norm against genocide, as defined in the 1948 Convention on
the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, is considered a jus cogens norm.

2. Prohibition of slavery: The norm against slavery, including practices such as forced labor and
human trafficking, is widely recognized as a jus cogens norm.

3. Prohibition of torture: The norm against torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or
punishment is considered a jus cogens norm.

4. Prohibition of crimes against humanity: The norm against crimes against humanity, such as

widespread or systematic attacks against civilian populations, is generally accepted as a jus
cogens norm.
