Author Description
The Un Security Council's Transition To 'targeted Sanctions' In The 1990s Marked A Revolutionary Shift In The Locus Of The Council's Decision-making From States To Individuals. The Establishment Of The Targeted Sanctions Regime, Should Be Regarded As More Than A Shift In Policy And Invites Attention To An Emerging Tier Of International Governance. This Book Examines The Need To Develop A Due Process Framework Having Regard To The Uniquely Political And Crisis-based Context In Which The Security Council Operates. Drawing On Anglo-american Jurisprudence, This Book Develops Procedural Principles For The International Institutional Context Using A Value-based Approach As An Alternative To The Formalistic Approach Taken In The Literature To Date. In Doing So, It Is Recognized That Due Process Is More Than A Set Of Discrete Legal Standards, But Is A Touchstone For The Way The International Legal Order Conceives Of Far Larger Questions About Community, Law And Values.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates the necessity of establishing a due process framework within the United Nations Security Council to address the legal implications of targeted sanctions against individuals. Author Devika Hovell, an expert in international law, utilizes a value-based approach to critique existing formalistic interpretations.
