This article argues that if there is a jus cogens norm in the jus ad bellum, it must be the customary norm which prohibits non-consensual uses of force that are neither validly authorised under the UN Charter nor lawful exercises of self-defence. In doing so this article will clarify the method by which jus cogens norms should be identified, based on a correct understanding and application of what it means for a norm to be ‘accepted and recognized as a norm from which no derogation is permitted’. It is argued that all existing jus cogens norms must be norms of customary law, and that the uncertainty regarding the scope of the jus cogens norm prohibiting force results from uncertainty as to the structure of the underlying customary and treaty law norms in the jus ad bellum.

确定 JUS AD BELLUM 中的绝对法规范

本文认为，如果存在强制法规范中的诉诸战争权，它必须是禁止未经《联合国宪章》有效授权或合法行使自卫的非自愿使用武力的习惯规范。为此，本文将阐明强制法应根据对“被接受和承认为不允许减损的规范”意味着什么的正确理解和应用来确定规范。有人认为，所有现有的强制法规范必须是习惯法的规范，并且关于适用范围的不确定性强制法禁止武力的规范是由于对基本的习惯法和条约法规范的结构的不确定性造成的诉诸战争权.
