Throughout the first decades of its existence, many held the view
that the UN Security Council would in some senses automatically
encourage the protection of human rights by maintaining
international peace. However since the end of the Cold War there
have been growing concerns that the Council is a force with the
potential to do harm to the cause of human rights, even to the
extent of violating the rights of individuals. The chapters of this
volume take a closer look at these two sides of the Security
Council's involvement in human rights; both its efforts to promote
and enforce human rights, and its actions that, with the intention
of maintaining and restoring international peace, also have the
potential to jeopardize human rights. This book represents a
collection of individual views and appraisals of how the Council
has dealt with human rights issues in the post-Cold War period,
particularly in the cases of the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq
and the targeted sanctions directed against the Taliban and
supporters of the Al Qaida network. Written by experts in the field
of international law, they are both positive and negative, critical
and analytical. Together they offer a selection of different
perspectives and evaluate the contribution of the Security Council
to the promotion of human rights, highlighting possible avenue for
improvement.
