Abstract

Peremptory norms of general international law despite their background in international law have not had a prominent development. In the inter-American
system of protection of the human rights the ius cogens has been invoked by
the Commission and the Court, which have recognized the nature of various
rights. The aim of this study is to analyze its incorporation and development
in the region and its relation with the right to due process by its importance in
the region. For it, it will be necessary to turn briefly to the origin of ius cogens
in international law, review the jurisprudence of the Court and Commission
decisions relating to it, analyze its relation with the judicial guarantees or due
process to conclude with a final reflection.
