What can be done if the United Nations Security Council fails to
protect people from mass atrocities? At a time of inaction and
political paralysis at the United Nations, this book explains the
legality of alternative action beyond the Security Council. This
book takes a fresh look at the responsibility to protect and offers
new and compelling insights into the powers and limits of the UN
Security Council. It argues that the Security Council's
responsibility to maintain international peace and security, and
its responsibility to protect, do not die with its own failures.
Other actors can and must take up responsibility to save those in
need. In a persuasive and detailed examination of the legal
framework, this research identifies options for coercive measures
to be taken beyond the Council that could be used to break the
deadlock, including through the General Assembly and regional
organisations. It provides a must-have resource for students,
academics, and researchers on key principles of international law.
It also offers insight for governments, policy-makers, and other
international actors on how they can uphold their legal
responsibilities, maintain peace and security, and prevent their
failures from undermining the very existence of the UN itself.
