Jus Cogens，强行法，又称绝对法、强制法，指在国际社会中公认的必须绝对执行和严格遵守的，不得任意选弃、违反或更改的国际法规范。

从国际法学者的学说、国际法庭的判例、联合国国际法委员会起草1969年《维也纳条约法公约》第53条时提出的各种建议和该条规定的措辞中可以看出国际强行法具有以下特征：

（1）国际社会全体接受；

（2）国际社会公认为不可损益；

（3）非以后同等性质的国际法强制不得予以更改。

迄今为止，符合上述标准构成国际强行法一部分的人权规则的人权包括：

1、生命权（包括免受任意屠杀的权利和免受种族灭绝的权利）；

2、免受种族隔离的权利；

3、免受酷刑和其他有辱人格待遇的权利；

4、免为奴隶的权利；

5、免受奴役或强迫劳动的权利；

6、妇女和儿童免受贩运的权利。
