Through an analysis of UN operations including international
territorial administration, refugee camps, peacekeeping, the
implementation of sanctions and the provision of humanitarian aid,
Guglielmo Verdirame shows that the powers exercised by the UN carry
a serious risk of human rights abuse. The International Law
Commission has codified and developed the law of institutional
responsibility, but, while indispensable, these principles and
rules cannot on their own ensure compliance and accountability. The
'liberty deficit' of the UN and of other international
organisations, thus remains an urgent legal and political problem.
Some solutions may be available; indeed, recent state and
institutional practice offers interesting examples in this respect.
But at a fundamental level we need to ask ourselves whether, judged
on the basis of the principle of liberty, the power shift from
states to international organisations is always beneficial.
