NORMAS DE JUS COGENS: UMA VISÃO DETALHADA SOBRE SUA NATUREZA E HIERARQUIA NO DIREITO INTERNACIONAL

Abstract

This essay aims to conduct a detailed analysis of the rules of jus cogens. In the initial approach, we seek to establish a precise definition of this fundamental legal concept. In subsequent sections, we will explore the nature and legal purpose of jus cogens norms, as well as their implications in international relations. We will examine how these essential norms, recognized as imperative and universally accepted, influence the conduct of states and international organizations. Throughout the analysis, we will also consider the ethical and humanitarian implications associated with jus cogens norms, emphasizing their importance in protecting human rights and promoting global justice. Subsequently, after understanding and absorbing the concepts presented, the essay will turn to a more in-depth investigation, exploring how the rules of jus cogens have evolved over time and how they are applied in the contemporary context of international law. We will emphasize their relationship with the progressive development of law and their contribution to a more just and humanitarian global legal order.
