The Procedure of the UN Security Council
De (autor) Loraine Sievers, Sam Dawsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 Sep 2014
Council's procedures of the past two decades. A one-stop handbook and guide, with meticulous referencing, this book has served diplomats, UN staff and scholars alike in providing unique insight into the inside workings of the world's preeminent body for the maintenance of international peace and security. Thoroughly grounded in the history and
politics of the Council, it brings to life the ways the Council has responded through its working methods to a changing world. The book explains the Council's role in its wider UN Charter context and examines its relations with other UN organs and with its own subsidiary bodies. This includes the remarkable expansion in UN peacekeeping, peacebuilding and political missions, sanctions and counter-terrorism bodies, and
international legal tribunals. It contains detailed analysis of voting and decision-taking by the Council, as well as the place, format, and conduct of meetings. It also seeks to illuminate the personalities behind the Council's work - ranging from the diplomats who sit on the Council itself to
the UN Secretary-General, and those outside the Council affected by its decisions. It concludes with reflections on the improvements that have made to the Council's procedures over many decades, and the scope for further reform.

Recenzii
The
fourth
edition
.
.
.
is
an
authoritative
compilation
of
the
work
of
the
Council,
and
thereby
serves
as
a
kind
of
guide
to
the
efforts
of
the
international
community,
over
almost
70
years,
to
maintain
world
peace.
The
volume
documents
the
Councils
attempts,
in
the
face
of
new
and
novel
crises
and
conflicts,
to
develop
a
work
practice
and
a
toolkit
in
order
to
properly
fulfil
its
Charter
mandate.
.
.
.
The
[book
will]
quickly
become
established
as
a
standardreference
for
practitioners
and
academicians.

When you subscribe to the alert service, it is almost as if you are witnessing the continuous process of evolution of the Councils procedures, and of the books content. You feel as ifyou are witnessing the fifth edition in the making.
The book successfully makes the councils work plain to interested readers, be it scholar, student, diplomat or journalist. Its a surprisingly uncomplicated, highly readable book, compared with the usual scholarly works on the UN, written in academic jargon...The book is like its predecessors a unique source of information. It is highly recommended to all interested in the UN, as appreciating the important changes can play a key role in building support for thecouncils work in maintaining international peace.
For a 744-page book that deals with procedure, it is a highly readable tome written in a non-scholarly fashion that combines the rigor of an academic text with the prose of a journalist.
