Izolda Takacs will present key findings from the International Law Commission’s 2022 Draft Conclusions on Peremptory Norms of General International Law (jus cogens), addressing unresolved legal questions surrounding jurisdiction, immunity, and accountability.
Through an analysis of international case law, the seminar will examine how Russian aggression challenges the enforcement of jus cogens norms and raises urgent questions about the future of international law. The discussion will also consider proposals for a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression and the broader implications for Article 2(4) of the UN Charter.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the limits and possibilities of international law in times of crisis.
