H. Beck, 1995. - ISSN 0938-5428 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: Peace and Security Achievements and Failures Peace and Security Achievements and Failures Rosalyn Higgins *1 The history of the United Nations, 1945-1995, in the field of peace and security, would be a scholarly enterprise of several volumes. One is struck first of all by the sheer magnitude of all that has happened relating to the UN's role in peace and security during these years. The texts, the problems, the events, the attempts, the developments, the successes, the failures, the new problems - come teeming upon each other. But, looking back over the last fifty years, it seems to me that certain trends and patterns are clearly discernible. We cannot understand where we are now, and what problems the United Nations faces today in the field of peace and security, without understanding what was intended, and what has actually occurred in the intervening period time. And only then can we explore what is happening today - and the implications for tomorrow. I. The First Phase: What was Intended To look at the text of the Charter, and to remind ourselves of what was originally intended, is to see how far we have come from the original ideas of the founding fathers. The United Nations Charter was intended to provide a comprehensive set of prescriptions on conflict resolution and the use of force. On the one hand there were the provisions for settling disputes between States, and the prescriptions as to when force could or could not be used. On the other was the intended capability of the United Nations itself to provide collective security, if necessary by enforcing the peace. Chapter VI of the Charter indicates the appropriate methods of settling international disputes and gives the Security Council certain powers in relation to these. Whether decisions taken by the Security Council under Chapter VI can be binding has been the subject of some controversy . But it is agreed that generally speaking, resolutions under Chapter VI will be recommendatory, rather than decisions which bind the membership at large by reference to Article 25. The International Court of Justice in the Namibia case made the extremely important observation (which has implications for other chapters of the Charter as well) that resolutions may in any event have operative effect - that is to say, the findings of fact, or applications of law within an organ's own competence, are determinative.2 As for the entitlement of States to use force, the matter was meant to be resolved by the combined application of Article 2(4) and Article 51. All use of force save in self-defence was prohibited under Article 2(4) (as the International Court in the Corfu Channel case was to affirm in its judgment in 1949). Article 51 did not entirely `match' Article 2(4), in that under the former a State could use force `if an armed attack occurs', but the latter provision prohibited the threat or use of force. (Years later, in the Nicaragua v. United States case (Merits), the International Court was further to underline that Articles 2(4) and 51 were not fully obverse sides of the same coin, by its finding that not all illegal uses of force constituted an armed attack, and that the right to self-defence was available only in regard to the latter).3 INDEX WORDS:

Together they comprise the rules and the reality of `the international system', an intellectual construct that lawyers, political scientists, and policymakers use to describe the world they study and seek to manipulate. As a distinguished group of international lawyers and a growing number of political scientists have recognized, it makes little sense to study one without the other. In keeping with this tradition, this article seeks to develop an integrated theory of international law and international relations. Previous efforts in this vein fall into several categories. Myres McDougal and Harold Lasswell, progenitors of the New Haven school, used a theory of domestic politics and domestic law to rethink the nature and definition of international law. The international legal process school, pioneered by scholars such as Abram Chayes and Louis Henkin, sought to explore and take account of the actual impact of international legal rules on international political processes, from crises to routine decision-making. The task was to determine to what extent law shapes `how nations behave'.2 INDEX WORDS:

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: part of a serial A patchwork of norms : a commentary on the 1996 draft code of crimes against the peace and security of mankind / Allain, Jean ; Jones, John R. W. D. REFERENCE TO GENERIC UNIT (Periodica): European journal of international law [=EJIL] = Journal européen de droit international : vol. 8; no. 1., p. 100-117. - Firenze : European University Institute, 1997. - ISSN 0938-5428 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: I. Introduction The International Law Commission's Draft Code of Crimes against the Peace and Security of Mankind has been half a century in the making. In 1947, the General Assembly of the United Nations requested the International Law Commission (ILC) to formulate the principles of international law recognized in the Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal and in the judgment of the Tribunal and to prepare a draft Code of offences against the peace and security of mankind, indicating clearly the place to be accorded to the Nuremberg principles.3 Although the ILC commenced its work in 1949, and submitted a Draft Code five years later,4 the General Assembly did not take any action on the Code until the end of 1981 when it invited the ILC to resume its work.5 In 1991, the ILC provisionally adopted the draft articles of the Code and transmitted them to governments for their observations. The adoption of the 1991 Draft Code was, however, complicated by the process of adopting a statute for a permanent criminal court, which the General Assembly had that same year invited the ILC to consider. Thus, the 1991 Draft Code was referred back to the Drafting Committee. Following this Committee's report, the ILC, at its forty-eighth session, held from 6 May to 26 July 1996, adopted the text of a set of twenty draft articles constituting the Code of Crimes against the Peace and Security of Mankind (hereinafter `the 1996 Draft Code' or `the Draft Code'). The history of the Draft Code reveals an important fact, namely that the task of drafting it was commissioned by the General Assembly before many of the normative sources on which it would rely had come into being. Indeed, with the exception of the Hague Convention (IV) of 1907 and the Nuremberg Charter, practically all of the conventional and charter-based sources of international criminal law and international humanitarian law, which substantially, if not entirely, overlap with the subject matter of the Draft Code, have emerged since 1947, in particular the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Additional Protocols of 1977 thereto, as well as the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment of 1984. This posed a fundamental problem for the drafters of the Code. If the Code departed from the texts of these instruments, then it might create contradictions in the law and sow the seeds of confusion. But if it merely reproduced those texts verbatim, then it would be otiose. How then was the Draft Code to coexist alongside these instruments and what use was it to make of them? The approach taken by the ILC has been to transplant the operative elements of various conventions and instruments, while modifying those provisions where it sees fit. In particular, additional elements have been added to what are already international crimes in order to elevate them to the status of the more serious crimes against the peace and security of mankind. This issue will be taken up in the next section. Unfortunately, however, this activity has not been carried out consistently and it has not had the virtue of rationalizing or simplifying the existing law. Rather, the reverse has occurred, as this article will attempt to demonstrate. It will be submitted that if the Code does not rationalize the existing law into a more coherent corpus, departing from the texts of international instruments only when they are seen to contain imperfections or where the law has since developed, then it will be simpler for national courts or the permanent criminal court to have recourse to those existing instruments and to customary law rather than to the Code. Thus, if its present deficiencies are not redressed, the sad conclusion may be drawn that it is better for the administration of international criminal law if the Code is simply not adopted at all.
