  • Due diligence obligations are typically described by scholars and practitioners as 'elusive', 'weak', and difficult to pin down in the abstract. Challenging these assumptions, this book offers a systematic reconstruction of the foundations of due diligence obligations of states and explores their nature, rationale, content and scope of operation in international law. Tackling due diligence from a general perspective, this book seeks to complement scholarly studies on public international law obligations and their theory. This book will be relevant for academics, practitioners, graduate students across international law and anyone seeking to better conceptualise due diligence under international law and understand how due diligence obligations are operationalised in practice.

  • Summary

    The first chapter of the book outlines the status of the right to life under international law. It concludes that the right to life is both a customary rule and a general principle of law while the prohibition on arbitrary deprivation of life is a peremptory norm of international law (jus cogens).
