FRIDE - Security Council resolutions under Chapter VII

Security Council resolutions under Chapter VII

28/09/2009 By Blanca Antonini, Maud Edgren-Schori, Débora García-Orrico, Pierre Schori, Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh, Gilles Yabi

This book examines the design and implementation of the Security Council mandates of the UN missions and multinational operations deployed in the four cases under review and which, with the exception of UNAMA in Afghanistan, were approved within the framework of Chapter VII of the UN Charter.

The Council’s effectiveness in supporting and monitoring its own mandates and giving guidance to UN Field Missions and multinational operations it authorised, as well as the constraints under which it has acted, deserve particular attention.

This study, undertaken by FRIDE with the financial support of the Government of Sweden, looks at all these complex and interconnected questions and makes recommendations for future UN missions.
