Abstract
Covers the basic aspects of two highly controversial concepts in contemporary international law - the concept of erga omnes obligations and jus cogens. The two concepts are closely connected with such important international legal aspects such as normative hierarchy, international responsibility, decision-making within the international community. Despite more than forty years history of the concepts, their concrete legal content is still the subject of debate in the doctrine of international law, and therefore it is important to make an analysis of the use of these concepts by International Court ofJustice and International Law Commission of the United Nations, as well as by representatives of the scientific community.
