Since in all the jurisdictions studied they can be determined by both contractual and legislative provisions, the paper first focuses on the interpretation of force majeure clauses under the laws of Ukraine, Germany and Switzerland. It also analyzes what consequences of the impossibility of performing a contract due to war or circumstances caused by war may arise when the contract does not define them.</span></p>

https://www.journals.vu.lt/teise/article/view/33293
<p>This article discusses the access to justice, perceived as a human right. It is argued that this fundamental right is now part of today’s <em>jus cogens</em>. The idea of <em>jus cogens</em> can be a highly beneficial tool for sanctifying the existence of a normative hierarchy in the international arena, which is traditionally viewed as a set of purely horizontal relations between states. As soon as a norm or a principle acquires the character of <em>jus cogens</em>, it obliges the entire international community, requiring states to adapt their laws and legal practice.</p>
