Little is known about how far-reaching decisions in UN Security
Council sanctions committees are made. Developing a novel committee
governance concept and using examples drawn from sanctions imposed
on Iraq, Al-Qaida, Congo, Sudan and Iran, this book shows that
Council members tend to follow the will of the powerful, whereas
sanctions committee members often decide according to the rules.
This is surprising since both Council and committees are staffed by
the same member states. Offering a fascinating account of Security
Council micro-politics and decision-making processes on sanctions,
this rigorous comparative and theory-driven analysis treats the
Council and its sanctions committees as distinguishable entities
that may differ in decision practice despite having the same
members. Drawing extensively on primary documents, diplomatic
cables, well-informed press coverage, reports by close observers
and extensive interviews with committee members, Council diplomats
and sanctions experts, it contrasts with the conventional wisdom on
decision-making within these bodies, which suggests that the
powerful permanent members would not accept rule-based decisions
against their interests. This book will be of interest to policy
practitioners and scholars working in the broad field of
international organizations and international relations theory as
well as those specializing in sanctions, international law, the
Security Council and counter-terrorism.
