    Question

    The principle of jus cogens is incorporated in which Article of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, 1969?

    A.

    Article 32

    B.

    Article 41

    C.

    Article 53

    D.

    Article 68

    Correct option is C


    Article 53 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969) addresses treaties conflicting with a peremptory norm of general international law ( jus cogens). It states that a treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with such a norm. A jus cogens norm is recognized by the international community as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of the same character.
    Information Booster: While Article 53 deals with existing treaties conflicting with jus cogens norms, Article 64 of the same Convention provides that if a new jus cogens norm emerges, any existing treaty conflicting with that norm becomes void and terminates.
