Download or read book The Security Council as Global Legislator written by Vesselin Popovski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security Council resolutions have undergone an important evolution over the last two decades. While continuing its traditional role of determining state-specific threats to peace and engaging accordingly in various peaceful or coercive measures, the Security Council has also adopted resolutions that have effectively imposed legal obligations on all United Nations member states. This book seeks to move away from the discussions of whether the Security Council – in the current composition and working methods – is representative, capable or productive. Rather it assesses whether legislative activity by the Security Council can be beneficial to international peace and security. The authors examine and critique the capacities of the Security Council to address thematic international threats - such as terrorism, weapons proliferations, targeting of civilians, recruitment of child soldiers, piracy – as an alternative to the traditional model of addressing country-specific situations on a case-by-case basis. Ultimately, the book seeks to assess the efficacy of the Security Council as global legislator in terms of complementing the Security Council’s mandate for the maintenance of international peace and security with a preventative and norm-setting capacity. The book presents views from a diverse range of Security Council stakeholders including academic scholars, political analysts, and international lawyers. This resource will be of great interest to students of international relations, international organizations and international security studies alike.
Download or read book The Security Council as World Legislator written by Axel Marschik and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s the UN Security Council accreted new functions and responsibilities: to administer territories, establish tribunals to try individuals for war crimes, delineate borders, decide on questions of compensation, and determine juridically-salient facts. This paper considers the relevant resolutions, but argues that until 2001, these activities were linked directly to a territorially-specific international conflict aimed at restoring peace and order. With SC-Resolution 1373(2001) the Security Council created general and abstract obligations in the field of counter-terrorism that, under Chapter VII of the Charter, are immediately binding on all States. While one such legislative act could be considered an aberration, the acceptance of SC-1373 by the states, and the prevailing political dynamic, has prompted the Council to engage in more of this generally-applicable non-localized law-making. Resolution 1540 (2004) on obligations of all states concerning weapons of mass destruction, has provoked much more intense reactions.This paper analyzes the implications of these two resolutions, and argues that continuation of this trend may have significant consequences for the creation of international law. Traditionally, states have the freedom to choose whether they wish to be bound by a norm: they can choose not to sign treaties or they can persistently object to the formation of custom. The creation of international law also relies on the principle of legal equality of the states creating the norm. General legislation by the Council via Chapter VII of the Charter supersedes both these principles. This paper assesses advantages and disadvantages of such lawmaking by the Council as well as possible remedies for potential problems.

Download or read book The United Nations Security Council s Legislative and Enforcement Powers and Climate Change written by Alan Boyle and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the adoption of the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), international climate change law-making has chiefly been the prerogative of the treaty bodies established under the Convention and its Protocol. The adoption of the Paris Agreement in December 2015 is an important step forward for the multilateral climate change framework, but, despite its rapid entry into force, it is still too early to tell whether the Paris Agreement will prove to be an effective and successful intergovernmental framework for tackling climate change. Nor is it necessarily the only relevant institution in the climate change regime. Given the urgency of climate change and the glacial pace of multilateral climate law-making, the idea of exploiting the United Nations Security Council's legislative and enforcement powers to lead global efforts on climate change therefore holds a significant appeal. This chapter focuses on the use of the Council's legislative and enforcement powers to help states get out of the climate change law-making quagmire. Firstly, the chapter analyses the powers and practice of the Council both as a global legislator, and in enforcing states' obligations. Secondly, the chapter considers how existing Council law-making and enforcement powers can be applied to climate change. The chapter concludes by reflecting on advantages and disadvantages of Council's legislative and enforcement action in relation to climate change.
Download or read book Review of the Security Council by Member States written by Erika De Wet and published by Intersentia nv. This book was released on 2003 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, notably those resulting in the freezing of assets of individuals and organisations suspected of involvement in international terrorism, have had far-reaching consequences for member states and individuals. In addition, they might conflict with international human rights standards that are binding on the Security Council itself. In light of the limited possibility for reviewing the legality of these resolutions on the international level, individuals have recently begun to challenge their implementation on the national and regional level. This emerging practice raises the question whether states and regional organisations such as the EU can engage in such review and, if so, to what extent.

Download or read book Reforming the UN Security Council Membership written by Sabine Hassler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively examines the different proposals put forward for reforming the UN Security Council by analysing their objectives and exploring whether the implementation of these proposals would actually create a representative and more effective Security Council. The book places the discussion on reform of Security Council membership in the context of the council’s primary responsibility, which is at the helm of the UN collective security system. The author contends that only a Council that is adequately representative of the UN membership can claim to legitimately act on the members’ behalf. This book offers an inquiry into the Council’s constitutional framework and how far that framework still reflects the expectations and intentions of the founding nations, whilst remaining flexible enough to satisfy today’s, and possibly tomorrow’s, membership. Through the use of policy-oriented jurisprudence and elements of the International Law/International Relations theory this book explores how reform can best be realised. Reforming the UN Security Council Membership will be of particular interest to scholars and students of International Law and International Relations.

This book was released on 2020-01-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom has it that the successful functioning of the UN Security Council almost completely depends on the role played by its five permanent members and the extent to which they can agree—or avoid to fundamentally disagree—on the many issues on the Council’s agenda. But the Council also consists of ten non-permanent or elected members who represent five different regions of the world, and who, though not vested with the right of veto, play an indispensable role in Council decision-making. This book aims to take a closer look at that role.

This book was released on 2001-05-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses the legal limits to the authority of the Security Council under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. The interest in this topic regained importance when the Security Council started to play an increasingly active role after a period of dormancy between 1945 and 1990. The work describes various approaches to Charter interpretation, provides an overview of the Council's powers under the Charter and surveys the Council's recent practice with regard to the maintenance of international peace and security. Subsequently the sources and contents of the limits to the Council's authority are analyzed. This is followed by an analysis of the role of the International Court of Justice, which includes an overview of the main obstacles to, and possibilities of, judicial review by the Court of Council decisions taken under Chapter VII. Finally, the work discusses recent proposals to enhance the Council's legitimacy.
