oapen.abstract.otherlanguageThe adoption of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties in 1969 introduced the concept of jus cogens into the realm of the international legal order. The international community of States nevertheless decided to leave the determination of its substantive content to international Courts. While the International Court of Justice appears to have been reluctant to perform such a function, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has developed a creative and dynamic method of interpretation intended to afford a full and complete protection to human beings; such an approach resulted inevitably in the identification of the content of peremptory norms. The Inter-American Court has therefore established a coherent system of rights and obligations where violations of jus cogens norms leads to the aggravated responsibility of the defendant State. The aim of this study is, on the one hand, to identify the factors that have shaped the Court’s innovative approach to jus cogens norms and to assess, on the other hand, if such an approach can truly contribute to the substantive determination of universal peremptory norms.
