Security Council Guidelines for the use of force
Diana Amnéus | October 07, 2011
Dear David,
Thank you for a most interesting presentation of your doctoral dissertation. I was indeed glad to find this exerpt on the Conference blog in order to go through your ideas more carefully once again.
I would however like to suggest some further reading regarding the idea of introducing Guidelines for the use of force in the Security Council that may moderate your argument somewhat. Alex Bellamy brings up the problem of creating double-qualifiers for R2P cases with such guidelines in his articles Whither the Responsibility to Protect? Humanitarian Intervention and the 2005 World Summit, Ethics and International Affairs, Vol 20 (2006) 143 and Preventing Future Kosovos and Future Rwandas: The Responsibility to Protect after the 2005 World Summit, Policy Brief no. 1 of the initiative Ethics in a Violent War: What can institutions do? Carnegie Council, 2006; see also my own analysis on such guidelines in Chapter 6.3.1.3. in my thesis "Responsibility to Protect by Military means - Emerging Norms on Humanitarian Intervention?", Stockholm University, 2008.
Looking forward to continuing discussions on the topic!
Best regards,
