    • Such developments include, for instance, the Convention on the Law of Treaties between States and International Organisations or between International Organisations, Doc. A/ CONF.129/15, adopted at Vienna on 21 March 1986. Further see treaties.un.org/Pages, the UN Treaty Collection site of the UN Office of Legal Affairs (last visited 25 November 2009). As of 25 November 2009, the treaty has yet to enter into force, even though it has 41 parties. Among the 41 parties, 15 are international organizations, which are not counted as part of the requirement for entry into force as laid down under art. 85 of the treaty. The article requires ratifications or accessions by at least 35 States.

    • However, declarations of succession have since been quickly filed by some of these successor States, such as Croatia (11 May 1992) and Bosnia-Herzegovina (31 December 1992), with the depositary of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, the Swiss Federal Council. Such declarations were presumably made at the time due to the doubts surrounding the customary status of art. 34 of the 1978 Vienna Convention on Succession of States in respect of Treaties (1946 UN Treaty Series, 3; entry into force 6 November 1996). The doubts persist: I. Brownlie, Principles of Public International Law (7th edn. 2008), 661-662, 663-664.

    • It is noted that, in the North Sea Continental Shelf cases, the ICJ once considered that, as general or customary law rules and obligations must have equal force for all members of the international community, they cannot be the subject of any right of unilateral exclusion exercisable at will by any one of them in its own favour: ICJ Reports 1969, 3, para.63. The gist of that statement does not necessarily contradict the existence of the persistent objector rule.

Cf A. Orakhelashvili, Peremptory Norms in International Law (2006, 28, 577. However, the concept seems to be one that is still developing, with a considerable amount of writings but somewhat short on State practice with the exception of the above treaty rules, to which France has objected, and some cases, The mechanism established under art. 66 of the 1969 Convention to settle disputes over the application and interpretation of art. 53 or 64, while aimed, in part, at leaving the matter of jus cogens in the hands of the ICJ, has not been generally accepted by the States parties

The text of art. 54 of the 1993 Constitution is reported in Law of the Sea Bulletin, No. 25, 82. Together with Ecuardo and El Salvador, Peru remains a non-party to the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea Convention.

    • The article, unlike so many others of the Charter, does not contain any reference to a State or all States. The inherent right of self-defense cannot, however, be confined thereby to the Members of the UN. In this light, the right in art. 51, though generally mirroring its customary version, leaves room for the argument that it does not exactly copy the customary right. On this point, the majority opinion in the 1986 Nicaragua case is justified.
