The problem of defining the content of due diligence in international law between the preventive function and the ambiguity of the obligation

Dr. muhannad ajab jendeel

Abstract

The principle of due diligence is a central concept in contemporary international law, particularly within the framework of preventive obligations incumbent upon states in various fields, including environmental protection, human rights, cybersecurity, and the management of transnational risks. Despite the significant expansion in its application within international jurisprudence and case law, considerable ambiguity still surrounds its legal nature, normative content, and scope of application. This research concludes that the effectiveness of the due diligence principle stems not only from its conceptual flexibility but also fundamentally from the availability of a minimum level of normative control that prevents it from becoming a vague concept that can be invoked in disparate contexts without clear criteria. Such control contributes to achieving a delicate balance between the preventive requirements of the international legal system and the imperatives of respecting state sovereignty.
