Summary

Zusammenfassung

The notion sic utere tuo ut alienum non laedas requires one not to use its property in a way that causes damage to others. The prohibition on causing harm, also known as the no harm principle, is based on the idea that the one’s freedom ends where another’s sphere of rights begins. This work examines the role and rationale of the no harm principle in international law. It relies on both deductive and inductive reasoning in order to understand the general concept behind the no harm principle, as well as its implementation in different areas of international law, in order to arrive at a holistic understanding of this important principle in the international legal order.
