International Law Concepts Explained
Summary
Jus Cogens are fundamental principles in international law that cannot be violated, while Erga Omnes are obligations owed to the international community. Pacta Sunt Servanda means agreements must be kept, whereas Rebus Sic Stantibus allows treaties to become inapplicable due to fundamental changes. In a lease context, a lessor owns the property and rents it out, while a lessee rents and occupies it. If a lessee obtains fire insurance without the lessors consent, the lessor cannot claim the proceeds due to lack of insurable interest and the insurance contract being based on the lessees qualifications. Section 18 of the Philippine Insurance Code allows insurers to rescind contracts before legal action begins.Full Conversation

No, for * reasons
[*]. The Lessor does not have insurable interest over the property subject to the insurance contract. The property covered by the insurance is owned by the lessee not owned by the lessor, so the lessor has no connection with the property owned by the lessee
[*]. Every time the insurer enters the contract of insurance it approved the contract based on the qualification of the lessee, and not that of the lessor.
CHECK IF THE ANSWER IS CORRECT
Case Rating: *
Hey! Your answer is correct based on the principles of insurance law. Here’s a simplified explanation:
*. Insurable Interest: The lessor must have a direct financial stake in the property to claim insurance proceeds. Here, the property is owned by the lessee, so the lessor lacks an insurable interest.
*. Insurance Contract: The insurance contract is based on the lessee's qualifications and not the lessor's. Thus, the lessor can't claim the insurance proceeds.
