Abstract

In UNs history, the Legality of Security Council Resolutions, in many cases, is challenged. Generally, these challenges are taken by States that affected Security Council decisions. With notice that States are the representative for implementation of SCR, they intervene their determination and interpretation in the way that implement SC Decisions. In some cases, domestic and regional courts evaluate the state action in implementation SCRs. Although these cases couldn’t provide direct review on Resolutions, but affected in the way of implementation. Evaluation by States is probable and arises some concerns about decreased effectiveness of SC in the maintenance of international peace and security.

Highlights

  • In international legal system based on United Nations charter, the Security Council is the primary custodian of the maintenance of international peace and security

  • The court relied on the fact that the (ICTY) had already confirmed the legality of its establishment under international law, and found that the court did not have jurisdiction to order the release.(Milosevic v Netherland(Interlocutory Injunction)KG 01/975(2001) 48 NILR 357, 358-360) A similar approach was taken by the US court of Appeals in "Ntakirutimana v Reno", where the argument that the Security Council was not empowered under the Charter to establish the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the United States should not surrender him to the Tribunal was found to be outside the scope of judicial review

Summary

Introduction

In international legal system based on United Nations charter, the Security Council is the primary custodian of the maintenance of international peace and security. European Union Courts such as the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights have employed a lot on this subject following claims by individual and entity based on Human Rights violations by Security Council resolutions The attitude of these courts in relation to international law and European Union legal system create different approach in this regard. These courts have denied the judicial review on Security Council resolutions for themselves and only revoked the measures of member states on enforcement of resolution. At first we deal with lack of adequate review mechanism in United Nations, introduces States evaluation as a last resort and assess the states challenges in their determination
