The role of the UN Security Council in the implementation of the
rules of international humanitarian law through the authority
granted to him under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United
Nations if it is exposed these rules are violated, especia
lly when
committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide,
which is a threat to international peace and security.
Under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations Security
Council to resort to measures stipulated by articles 41 and 42 of the
Charter, including economic sanctions and responded to in Article
41, for example, but not limited to, the use of armed force contained
in Article 42, in order to ensure respect for the rules of law IHL and
thus keeping international peace and security, but that practice has
proved the failure of the Security Council this task in many areas of
the world, but on the contrary, the international forces operating in
order to maintain international peace and security committed crimes
in violation of international humanitarian law and targeted many
civilians.
And reflected the role of the Security Council is also in the
implementation of the rules of international humanitarian law
through the establishment of criminal tribunals temporary, such as
those established in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and its
relationship with the International Criminal Court after the Rome
Statute in 1998, and the evaluation of this power and the
relationship to refer the crimes without the other, which contributed
to the realization of the principle of duplication and giving priority
to political considerations at the expense of international justice that
the world today desperately need it.
