Abstract: Countermeasures, as one of the methods of self-protection in public international law, are among the most discussed topics in the contemporary field. They seek to deal with internationally wrongful acts committed by subjects of the international legal order. Such self-protection measures constitute decentralized and unilateral acts of States. Subject to substantive limitations such as reversibility and proportionality, they seek in theory to put an end to internationally wrongful acts. In certain situations, some States abuse the application of countermeasures, aggravating and straining the international landscape. Countermeasures are not regulated by treaties, but by customary law, which is why the International Law Commission defines the forms, methods and ways in which they are to be applied. In compliance with the fundamental mission of the United Nations to preserve international peace and security.
