The Charter of the United Nations : a commentary. Volume 1 / edited by Bruno Simma, Daniel-Erasmus Khan, Georg Nolte, Andreas Paulus ; assistant editor, Nikolai Wessendorf.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a lasting impact on international law and this Commentary on the UN Charter has been fully updated to take their impact into account. It has been completely revised and features a completely new chapter on UN reform, analysing the effect of reforms which have already been implemented and examining why other proposals for reform have failed. It will assess how these proposals could be improved, with a particular focus on the Security Council. This new edition also includes coverage of the creation of the Human Rights Council and the impact of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine.
