In this talk I shall review some old and new results about uniqueness of solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws. In particular: for any n x n strictly hyperbolic system, any weak solution which takes values inside the domain of the semigroup of vanishing viscosity limits, and whose shocks satisfy the Liu admissibility conditions, actually coincides with a semigroup trajectory. Implications of his result toward a posteriori error estimates will be discussed.
