Abstract

1654
Sustainable development is a notion which has an impact in the International Legal Order. In fact, it is an evolutive and cumulative concept. Its effects depend on how some structural principles of International Law are applied. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which were set down in 2015, offer an opportunity to regard the sustainable development as a «constitutional principle». As a consequence, rights and obligations could arise from this principle. The notion of sustainable development is reinforced thanks to SDG. Sustainable development various dimensions would indeed help to set it up as a fundamental principle, but, at the same time, however, they could weaken the meaning and scope of this principle. The International Community needs a principle by which the sustainable development is recognised and, at the same time, States obligations may be established, including, if necessary, international responsibility
