Abstract

With the concept of jus cogens a new and independent source ofinternational law is introduced. Jus cogens norms owe their validity toa norm of customary international law which is reflected by Article 53 of theVienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The detailed analysis of thisarticle reveals that jus cogens norms are hierarchically located betweencustomary international law and international treaties. Although juscogens norms are hierarchically inferior to customary international law,a primacy of application is granted to jus cogens norms over anycustomary rule. The concept of jus cogens is afflicted with many formaland material ambiguities. However, the difficulty of determining whichobligations constitute jus cogens mainly stems from the fact that theprocedure envisaged by Article 53 for the creation of jus cogens normsis ambiguous. Since the article provides an identification test for juscogens norms solely on formal basis, once these procedural and formalrequirements are enlightened it needs to be conceded that any normfulfilling these criteria, regardless of its content, is jus cogens as nomaterial requirement in relation to jus cogens norms exists.

Özet

Jus cogens kavramıyla birlikte uluslararası hukukta yeni ve bağımsız bir kaynak ortaya çıkmıştır. Jus cogens normlar geçerliliklerini Viyana Antlaşmalar Hukuku Sözleşmesi'nin 53. maddesinde yansımasını bulan bir uluslararası örf ve âdet hukuku normuna borçludur. Bu maddenin detaylı analizi, jus cogens normların hiyerarşik olarak uluslararası örf ve âdet hukuku ile uluslararası antlaşmalar arasında yer aldığını göstermektedir. Jus cogens normlar hiyerarşik olarak uluslararası örf ve âdet hukukunun altında yer alsa da, uluslararası teamül kuralları önünde bir uygulama önceliğine sahiptirler. Jus cogens kavramı pek çok şeklî ve maddî belirsizliklerden mustariptir. Ancak, hangi yükümlülüklerin jus cogens teşkil ettiğini belirlemekteki güçlük temel olarak 53. madde tarafından öngörülen jus cogens normların yaratılması sürecinin belirsizliğinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Madde jus cogens normları için şeklî kriterlerden oluşan bir tanılama testi sağladığı için, prosedürel ve şeklî gereklilikler aydınlatıldığında, bu kriterlere uyan bütün normların içeriklerinden bağımsız olarak jus cogens olduğunu kabul etmek gerekecektir.
