Abdul amir A. I. Jus Gogens in International Charters and Covenants and the Goal of Human Rights Protection

Abstract

The notion of jus cogens in international law encompasses the notion of peremptory norms in
international law. In this regard, a view has been formed that certain overriding principles of
international law exist which form “a body of jus cogens ”.These principles are those from which
it is accepted that no State may derogate by way of treaty.As a result they are generally interpreted
as restricting the freedom of States to contract while ‘voiding’ treaties treaties whose object
conflicts with norms which have been identified as peremptory.
Not only are the rules of the United Nations Charter contained, but they are also enshrined in
other international conventions and covenants whose purposes are the rule of international legality
and the implementation of the fundamental human rights and political and economic rights
guaranteed by the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, And the Convention
against Torture, as well as the provisions and advisory opinions of the international judiciary,
which confirmed the existence of rules of origin from their customary and customary sources.
