Synopsis

The human rights idea is shaping the contemporary world. At long last, human rights are being given the prominence they deserve by the organs of the international community dealing with questions of peace and security as well as with development.
How is the Security Council dealing with human rights imperatives? What does it see as the place of human rights in conflict prevention, peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding? How does it address the quest for justice in the face of gross violations of human rights?
These and other similar questions are addressed in this book, the first of its kind on the human rights role of the Security Council in the post cold-war world. It is a compelling account of the human rights dimensions of the work of the Security Council.

About this title

Review

'The volume is like a rich lode of materials and documentation.[...] Moreover, the text is replete with many tidbits of information that are of great value and assistance to any serious scholar in international law, [...]'
Yoram Dinstein, Israel Yearbook of Human Rights, volume 34.
L'ouvrage est essentiellement analytique, mais il n'en constitue pas moins un instrument de recherche utile dans la mesure où les annexes reproduisent le texte des principales résolutions du Conseil de sécurité et d'autres documents importants, adoptés depuis 1998 jusqu'en 2001, et liés directement ou indirectement aux questions de droit de l'homme.
