Abstract
1. The purpose of this article is to examine, even at the risk of magnifying them somewhat for clarity, the potential dangers that some recent developments usually studied from other angles—the jus cogens theory, the distinction between international crimes and international delicts, the concept of a rule of general international law, the notion of obligation erga omnes—bring in their wake for the future of international law as a normative system intended to perform certain functions.Keywords
