This long existing and accepted norm has certainly not meant that torture has been overcome.

A jus cogens norm is defined as a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted. Thus, by definition, norms belonging to the category of jus cogens apply in all situations and are unaffected by the outbreak of armed conflict.

Australia also welcomes the Secretary General's endorsement of the emerging norm of the responsibility to protect and his call to embrace that norm and to act on it when national Governments are unable or unwilling to protect their citizens.

To be sure, the sanctity of existing borders has become a powerful norm in world politics. Yet this norm has permitted the emergence of ungovernable and unmanageable states, whose internal wars spill across international boundaries, fueling regional tensions and insecurity.

It is clear that consensus would have facilitated the process of establishing a universal customary norm.

In the process of discharging their mandates, they may clarify the scope of a particular norm.
