Broader Obligations in Face of Serious Breach of Peremptory Norm Sample Clauses

Broader Obligations in Face of Serious Breach of Peremptory Norm. As noted in previous chapters, it has been recognized increasingly in inter- national standards and practice that some wrongful acts engage the responsibil- ity of the state concerned towards several or many states or even towards the international community as a whole.231 In certain circumstances international law enshrines obligations on all states to act to prevent and/or respond to very serious violations of international law. Where a violation amounts to a breach of jus cogens norms, all states have obligations to ‘cooperate’ to bring to an end, and not to recognize as lawful, a situation created by a serious breach, and not to render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation. This is reflected in articles 40 and 41 ILC Articles, and in the jurisprudence of the ICJ and other courts and tribunals.232 While these broader obligations apply only to a small group of ‘peremptory norms’ and only in respect of gross, flagrant, systematic, or organized xxxxx- tions of those norms, there is a strong case that these criteria are satisfied by the widespread and systematic nature of torture, secret detention and enforced disappearance intrinsic to the ERP.233 Moreover they complement the parti- cular positive obligations under IHL and IHRL referred to above.
