The article examines the relationship between third-party countermeasures and the Security Council's powers to adopt measures under Chapter vii of the United Nations Charter in response to breaches of obligations erga omnes. It is shown that the resort to third-party countermeasures is neither precluded nor subject to limitations as a result of the relationship to the Security Council's Chapter vii powers, even when both types of measures are adopted concurrently. Moreover, the fears that third-party countermeasures would interfere with or undermine the effective application of Security Council measures do not appear to have materialised in practice.

Transformed into a biomedical resource for the benefit of the care of others (blood, tissues, cells, etc.) or research (clinical trial subject), the body is now subject to the challenges of the globalization of the medical world. Such finding won't challenge all approach based on human rights, but it requires rethinking them differently, by including all stakeholders involved. Human rights must then adapt their vocabulary, without compromising their founding values. The thesis here developed aims to demonstrate that both the principles of bioethics and of human rights are not sufficient for the protection of individuals in the specific context of the transformation of the human body in biomedical resource. It is then necessary to teach all actors of the technical standardization of biomedicine and of health market to translate the language of human rights in their own dialects. ; Transformé en une ressource biomédicale au profit du soin d'autrui (sang, tissus, cellules, etc.) ou de la recherche (sujet d'essai clinique), le corps est aujourd'hui soumis aux enjeux de la globalisation du monde médical. Un tel constat ne vient pas remettre en cause toute approche fondée sur les droits de l'Homme, mais il oblige à la repenser différemment, en incluant l'ensemble des acteurs en cause. Les droits de l'Homme doivent alors adapter leur vocabulaire, sans compromettre les valeurs qui sous-tendent leur régime. La thèse soutenue vise ainsi à démontrer que les principes tant de la bioéthique que du régime traditionnel des droits de l'Homme ne sont pas suffisants pour permettre la protection des individus dans le contexte spécifique de la transformation du corps humain en ressource biomédicale. Il est alors nécessaire d'apprendre aux acteurs de la normalisation technique de la biomédecine et du marché de la santé à traduire le langage des droits de l'Homme dans leurs propres dialectes.
