• Resumen

  • This contribution reminds us that as individuals we play a role in the formation and understanding of international law. After recalling the key steps in the acknowledgement of international rights and obligations for individuals the article goes on to ask if the time has come to acknowledge that individuals can have obligations under international law that go beyond international crimes. In other words might there be international civil law obligations for the individual?
