DEMET SEFIKA MANGIR

Abstract:

With moving from the rules of common law, responsibility of international law is to form binding rules, which is valid for all of international community, and to provide international community to feel itself subjected to these rules. This responsibility entails to reconsider the traditional institutes of international community to take steps toward keeping the fundamental values of the society. International laws aim to keep of first priority the interests and values of international community, rather than the interests of governmental and nongovernmental elements taking place in international system. In the direction of this aim, the rules receiving its superior/privileged quality from the fundamental values (jus cogens/writ) of international community, as an important argument of law of international,. the protection of the interests and values of the international community should be a priority based on the norms of jus cogens is a case of humanitarian law, which is one of the best reflections.
