Erika De Wet Chapter VII Security Council sku-943731082

Erika De Wet's hardcover study, listed under International Law Books, examines the Security Council's powers under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. It considers how limits on those powers relate to judicial review by the ICJ: review depends on enforceable limits, while limits have less practical force without review.

Chapters 2 and 3 address review in advisory and contentious proceedings; Chapters 4 to 9 examine limits on the Council's powers. The concluding chapter considers how review could enforce those limits and discusses states' possible right to reject illegal binding Council decisions as a "right of last resort."

The study also examines how human rights norms may restrict enforcement measures used to maintain or restore international peace and security. SKU sku-943731082.
