The Rule of Law in the United Nations Security Council Decision-Making Process

Turning the Focus Inwards

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the application of the rule of law to the United Nations Security Council's decision making. It considers in detail the reasons why it is necessary to subject the Security Council to a rule of law framework. Sherif Elgebeily then sets out a bespoke rule of law applicable to the Security Council which if adhered to would afford it greater legitimacy and authority on the international stage. The book highlights examples where the Council has fallen short of these standards, and provides recommendations as to what it can amend in order to fall within the concept of the rule of law in its decision-making process.
