It is argued that there are principles of solidarity and that certain rules may be developed to strengthen the place and effects of solidarity in international law. It does so on the basis of an explicitly elucidated understanding of the international legal system and its constituent norms, considering whether there are principles and rules of solidarity in international law. Against this backdrop, this chapter explores the normative classification of solidarity in the international legal system from a theoretical perspective. On the other, it may be that solidarity imposes concrete and significant obligations on international actors in a range of circumstances. On one end of the spectrum, it could simply be that solidarity is a largely ornamental term or rhetorical device deployed in political discourse. The diversity of views makes it very difficult to determine the normative content and consequences of invocations of solidarity in international law. More specifically, whether solidarity can be considered an international legal norm remains unsettled. References to ‘solidarity’ pervade contemporary international legal discourse, yet it is unclear precisely how the notion of solidarity fits into the international legal system.
