Grandes expectativas y una oportunidad perdida. El Tribunal Especial para el Líbano y los objetivos del Consejo de Seguridad
2021
Entre los diversos tribunales penales internacionales ad hoc que se han creado desde finales del siglo XX, el Tribunal Especial para el Líbano destaca por su particularidad, tanto a nivel jurisdiccional como por su contribución al tratamiento de las víctimas. La labor del Tribunal Especial para el Líbano comenzó en 2009, dictando su primera sentencia de instancia el 18 de agosto de 2020. Mediante su constitución, el Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas apostó por no abandonar el camino iniciado en 1993 con la creación de los tribunales de Yugoslavia y Ruanda; sin embargo, el resultado no ha sido el esperado. Este trabajo pretende analizar las peculiaridades del Tribunal y su trabajo, rea…
I diritti umani come tema conflittuale nel Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite
2019
With the end of the Cold War and the expansion of the international liberal order, human rights have entered the UN Security Council agenda. However, this has become a divisive issue. In a context of greater influence of the US and its Western allies over the decision-making process of the most important multilateral institutions, the UN above all, the interpretation allowing intrusive practices by the Security Council promoted by the Western permanent members has clashed with the defense of sovereignty promoted by Russia and China. Analyzing divisive resolutions with reference to human rights in the period 2001-2017 (Lebanon, Myanmar, Zimbabwe, Libya and Syria) and the only thematic meetin…
NEITHER AUTHORIZED NOR PROHIBITED? SECESSION AND INTERNATIONAL LAW AFTER KOSOVO, SOUTH OSSETIA AND ABKHAZIA
2008
The flexibility mechanisms introduced by the Kyoto Protocol on climate change promote the realization of climate change related investment projects which aim to contribute both to the fight against climate change as well as to foster sustainable development patterns in host countries. At first glance, the flexibility mechanisms seem to represent paradigmatic examples of green economy instruments which have numerous potential benefits. However, the implementation of such mechanisms may give rise to some negative environmental externalities which have the consequence of creating a new type of investment versus environment conflict, characterized by a new form of conflict with an internal envi…
The United Nations and the European Union
2019
The European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN) are expressions of a rules-based global order. The EU has enshrined support to the UN in its security strategies, and its priorities indicate an engagement in a wide range of UN programs and activities to maintain the rules-based order and adapt it to face internal and external challenges. The EU and its member states are the largest contributors to the UN budget. Following the adoption of the Lisbon treaty, the EU has increased its representation at the UN, gaining enhanced observer status in the General Assembly. However, because of the intergovernmental nature of the forum, only its member states have the right to vote. This has led sch…
The European Courts and the Security Council: Between Dédoublement Fonctionnel and Balancing of Values: a Rejoinder to Grainne de Burca, André Nollka…
2009
* Professor of International Law, University of Naples ‘ Federico II ’ . Email: padesena@tin.it ; Associate Professor of International Law, University of Palermo. Email: chiara.vitucci@unipa.it 1 Nollkaemper, ‘ The European Courts and the Security Council: Between Dedoublement Fonctionnel and Balancing of Values: A Reply to De Sena and Vitucci ’ , 20 EJIL (2009) 862. Andre Nollkaemper, Grainne de Burca and Iris Canor have made a number of critical observations which are – in part at least – interesting and useful. A full examination of them would probably demand more time and more space than we have been given here. Nevertheless, we will try to reply to some of their remarks and to clear up…
Intervención en Libia: La responsabilidad de proteger a debate
2011
Resumen El trabajo analiza el origen y evolución del concepto de la responsabilidad de proteger, sus antecedentes en la década de los noventa del S. XX, su formulación en el Informe sobre La responsabilidad de proteger, y su consolidación posterior con especial atención al Documento Final de la Cumbre de 2005. Se examina asimismo el modo en que se ha aplicado esta norma emergente en la Resolución 1973 del Consejo de Seguridad, de 17 de marzo de 2011, que ha autorizado el uso de la fuerza en Libia. Y se concluye que casi todas las limitaciones y objeciones que se están planteando en relación con esta intervención, probablemente son consustanciales al modo en que actualmente se ponen en prác…
L'intervento francese in Mali si basa su un'autorizzazione del Consiglio di Sicurezza?
2013
Il lavoro affronta la questione del fondamento giuridico dell'intervento militare della Francia nel Mali del gennaio 2013, soffermandosi in particolare sulla questione se tale fondamento possa essere rintracciato in un'autorizzazione implicita del Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite.
L’occupation de l’Iraq. Le Conseil de sécurité, le droit de la guerre et le droit des peuples à disposer d’eux-mêmes
2004
By Resolutions No. 1483 and 1511 (2003), the Security Council authorized the occupying powers in Iraq to intervene in the political and economic affairs of the occupied territory beyond the limits provided for by international law of war. At the same time, this authorization restricts the right of the Iraqui peole to self- determination, considered in its external aspect. Thus, the problem arises whether it is within the Security Council's powers to adopt resolutions which restrict the enjoyment of rights protected by rules of jus cogens. Furthermore, because the occupying government interpreted these resolutions broadly, it may be asked whether this interpretation is lawful. From a close e…
The European Courts and the Security Council: Between "Dédoublement Fonctionnel" and Balancing of Values
2009
The recent case law of various international tribunals facing questions related to UN Security Council resolutions shows the clear tendency to grant primacy to the UN legal order. This trend, far from being well founded on formal arguments, appears to be a tribute to a legal order perceived as superior, and, at the same time, is revealing of the ‘value oriented’ approach followed by the courts. Such an approach can be categorized from a theoretical perspective in the light of Scelle's theory of relations between legal orders, whereby the courts implement in their respective legal orders values stemming from the UN legal order. Various critical remarks can be advanced in relation to this att…
Capitolo VIII della Carta dell’ONU e modelli di azione militare regionale
2019
This contribution deals with relations between regional organizations and the UN Security Council under Chapter VIII of the UN Charter. In this respect, the most recent trends are a shift from subsidiarity to a more equal partnership between these two subjects. The two models of action by delegation or authorization of the Security Council are in fact autonomous. This is demonstrated by the preparatory works of the UN Charter and subsequent practice. The model of authorized regional action enriches the range of instruments that the United Nations Charter provides for the maintenance of peace and collective security.
