The concept of obligations erga omnes - obligations to the
international community as a whole - has fascinated international
lawyers for decades, yet its precise implications remain unclear.
This book assesses how this concept affects the enforcement of
international law. It shows that all States are entitled to invoke
obligations erga omnes in proceedings before the International
Court of Justice, and to take countermeasures in response to
serious erga omnes breaches. In addition, it suggests ways of
identifying obligations that qualify as erga omnes. In order to
sustain these results, the book conducts a thorough examination of
international practice and jurisprudence as well as the recent work
of the UN International Law Commission in the field of State
responsibility. By so doing, it demonstrates that the erga omnes
concept is solidly grounded in modern international law, and
clarifies one of the central aspects of the international regime of
law enforcement.
