Abstract The idea of the hierarchical superiority of jus cogens norms in relation to all other norms or actions has gained track. Hence, today, the widely held view is that even decisions of the Security Council cannot contravene imperative norms. This runs counter to the indispensable powers of this organ to do whatever it takes to maintain peace. The argument is that the Security Council can, in the face of a threat or breach of peace, one that, in extremis, has the potential to eradicate the human race, take or authorise necessary action even if this action collides with jus cogens. Such decisions of the Security Council may target every single world entity or individual. Moreover, the world peace body can also legislate and create peremptory norms that are binding upon the whole world. This Article fleshes out the constitutional framework in which the exercise of these powers should be understood and uses as illustrations the old alleged right of humanitarian intervention and the new jus cogens crime of terrorism.

强制法与安全理事会第七章权力：特别提到人道主义干预和恐怖主义

摘要 强行法规范相对于所有其他规范或行动具有等级优越性的思想已经得到认可。因此，今天普遍持有的观点是，即使是安全理事会的决定也不能违反强制性规范。这与该机构不惜一切代价维护和平的不可或缺的权力背道而驰。其论点是，在面临威胁或破坏和平的情况下，安全理事会可以采取或授权采取必要行动，即使这种行动违反了强制法，在极端情况下也有可能消灭人类。安全理事会的此类决定可能针对每个世界实体或个人。此外，世界和平机构还可以立法和制定对全世界具有约束力的强制性规范。
