Abstract The International Law Commission is doing some research. This research looks at what the International Law Commission says about the sea level rising in its 2025 Final Report. It also looks at what the International Law Commission says about jus cogens norms. The International Law Commissions work on these things is changing some ideas, about international law. These ideas include what it means to be a state what sovereignty means, what maritime entitlements are and what non-derogable obligations are. The International Law Commissions research is important because it helps us understand how these changes affect the International Law Commissions views on law. The topic is chosen because of the legal problems that climate change is causing with sea levels rising, especially for countries that are low, to the ground and small island countries. These countries really need to figure out if the laws we have now can really help them and the people who live there. The International Law Commission is talking about some important rules that might help us understand if we have to do certain things to deal with climate change like protecting people’s dignity making sure they do not have to leave their homes for no good reason and keeping countries from falling apart. Climate change is an issue and the International Law Commissions discussion of these rules is happening at a good time. Climate change is making a lot of problems. We need to think about if some of these climate change rules are so important that everyone has to follow them like the protection of human dignity and the preservation of territorial integrity related to climate change. The study is highly relevant as it engages with authoritative ILC outputs, contributes to contemporary debates on climate justice and global governance, and addresses gaps in the current international legal order. Methodologically, the research will adopt a doctrinal and analytical approach, involving close examination of ILC reports, treaties such as UNCLOS and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, and relevant international jurisprudence, complemented by interpretative analysis and critical evaluation to assess the potential role of jus cogens in responding to the legal consequences of sea-level rise.
