@article{David Abrahams_Tayla Dye_2016, title={THE POSSIBILITY OF THE RIGHT TO RELIGION EMERGING AS A JUS COGENS NORM (PART 2)}, volume={37}, url={https://obiter.mandela.ac.za/article/view/11519}, DOI={10.17159/obiter.v37i3.11519}, abstractNote={<p>This article follows a previous article published in Obiter Vol 2 of 2016. In that article the concept of <em>jus cogens</em> and its role in the international community, together with the nature of the right to religion, were discussed. In Part Two, the seriousness of such human rights violations needs to be appreciated by the international community at large. To this end, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea will serve as a case study, examining the extent of the DPRK’s compliance of its obligations <em>vis-à-vis</em> the right to religion. This should ultimately lead to an understanding as to why the right to religion emerging as a <em>jus cogens</em> norm will not solve the problem of enforcement, and even if it could, due to the uncertainty surrounding the formation of <em>jus cogens</em> it is unlikely that other human rights will be added to the list in the near future.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Obiter}, author={David Abrahams and Tayla Dye}, year={2016}, month={Dec.} }
