This fully up-dated, third revised edition of Conforti's
thought-provoking and challenging textbook, The Law and Practice of
the United Nations, provides a comprehensive legal analysis of
problems concerning membership, the structure of UN organs, their
functions and their acts, taking into consideration the text of the
Charter, its historical origins, and, particularly, the practice of
the organs. Its main focus is on the practice of the Security
Council. In particular the action of the Security Council under
Chapter VII has been taken into account. The legal literature on
Chapter VII - a literature which has grown enormously in recent
times - has also been considered. The fact that the legal aspects
of the action or the inaction of the Security Council have been
discussed to an unusually large extent by ordinary people at the
time of the war against Iraq and even later is worth noting. The
importance of the role of the United Nations, and the content of
the rules governing it, has become a leitmotiv of all debates on
international politics. Consequently, the opinion often held in the
past, according to which it was useless to deal with the legal
aspects of the United Nations activity, can be considered as
obsolete. Through the study and analysis of emerging legal issues
of particular relevance to Africa, such as the creation of viable
continental institutions capable of promoting unity and security
for the peoples of the continent, the effective protection of human
rights, the need for accountability for mass killings and massive
violations of the rule of law, the promotion of a rule-based
democratic culture, the role of African countries in a globalizing
world economy and in international trade relations, the Yearbook
strives to be responsive to the intellectual needs of African
countries in the area of international law, and to the continuing
struggle for creating an environment conducive to the rule of law
throughout the continent. The Yearbook also provides ready access
to the basic documents of African international organizations by
regularly publishing the resolutions and decisions of regional and
sub-regional organizations as well as the conventions, protocols
and declarations adopted by pan-african agencies.
