סיכום:This paper critically examines Sara Azevedo's concept of uninormative conflicts, which arise from a single general norm leading to mutually incompatible particular norms. Azevedo makes two primary claims: first, that uninormative conflicts are classified as conflicts in abstracto, and second, that these conflicts must be resolved, and must be resolved through balancing. This paper aims to challenge both claims. It argues that classifying uninormative conflicts as conflicts in abstracto overlooks significant distinctions between conflicts in concreto and conflicts of instantiation. Consequently, the assertion that uninormative conflicts need resolution presupposes an axiological assumption regarding their undesirability.
