The paper assesses the impact of two key concepts - erga omnes and jus cogens - on the law of responsibility. Its particular focus is on the responsibility of the European Union. The paper argues that, while often considered to be purely theoretical categories, jus cogens and erga omnes in fact modify the content, and implementation of responsibility.
