👉 The charter weapon, often referred to as a "constitutional weapon," is a concept in international law that suggests certain fundamental rights and freedoms enshrined in a nation's constitution should be treated as inviolable under international law. This means that states cannot derogate from these rights, even in times of national emergency or conflict, as doing so would violate their international obligations. The charter weapon principle underscores the primacy of human rights and fundamental freedoms, asserting that these are non-derogable and must be protected at all times, regardless of the circumstances.
