We develop a theory based on relative entropy to show stabilityand uniqueness of extremal entropic Rankine-Hugoniot discontinuities forsystems of conservation laws (typically 1-shocks, n-shocks, 1-contactdiscontinuities and n-contact discontinuities of big amplitude), amongbounded entropic weak solutions having an additional strong traceproperty. The existence of a convex entropy is needed. No BV estimateis needed on the weak solutions considered. The theory holds withoutsmallness condition. The assumptions are quite general. For instance, thestrict hyperbolicity is not needed globally. For fluid mechanics, thetheory handles solutions with vacuum.
