  3. “The Council urges Member States which are interested in doing so to contribute national expertise and materials to these developments within their means, and to improve their capacities in these areas.

The Council supports the idea of establishing a rule of law assistance unit within the Secretariat and looks forward to receiving the Secretariat's proposals for implementation of the recommendations set out in paragraph 65 of the Secretary-General's report on the rule of law and transitional justice in conflict and post-conflict societies (S/2004/616).”

  14. “Our sanctions will then be even more credible and efficient. 06-40028 Thirdly, the promotion of the rule of law in post- conflict situations is crucial to preventing the recurrence of armed conflict. Security, development and human rights for all are mutually reinforcing elements in establishing and maintaining societies based on the rule of law. The fourth issue is that the peaceful settlement of disputes, inter alia through resort to the International Court of Justice, is at the heart of the Charter of the United Nations. Those are the four overriding themes of today's discussion. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. At this meeting the Security Council will hear briefings by Mr. Nicolas Michel and Judge Rosalyn Higgins. I now give the floor to Mr. Michel, Legal Counsel of the United Nations.”

  15. “In order to focus our debate, we have distributed a discussion paper under the symbol S/2006/367, of 7 June 2006, identifying certain issues we believe merit particular attention. The first issue is that we must not allow a culture of impunity to prevail. Those responsible for atrocities must be brought to justice. The resolution passed last Friday on Charles Taylor and his transfer to The Hague is the latest example of the firm hand of the Council on this dossier. Secondly, sanctions should be targeted in order to enhance their efficiency and reduce the risk of innocent third parties becoming victims of such measures. The fight against terrorism must be conducted in accordance with human rights standards. We must improve due process guarantees in our sanctions regimes, inter alia by introducing adequate mechanisms for delisting.”

  16. “The aim of this debate is to take a step back from the daily business of the Council - to start from the well-established recognition that international law plays a critical role in fostering stability and order in international relations and, from that basis, to consider how the Council can further contribute to strengthening and developing an international order based on the rule of law. The Council promotes the rule of law in post- conflict national societies in order to ensure the stability and legitimacy of those societies. International relations need to be governed by the rule of law in the same way. Today, more than ever before, the Council's legitimacy and credibility rest on its explicit commitment to operate within the framework - and in the furtherance -of international law.”

  17. “The topic of today's discussion is "Strengthening international law: rule of law and the maintenance of international peace and security" or, in short, the "Security Council and international law". 06-40028 The Security Council is essentially a political body with far-reaching powers to maintain or restore international peace and security. Yet the Council operates within a legal framework set out in the United Nations Charter. The consequences for international law of the actions of the Security Council should not be underestimated. That is particularly true when the Council acts in the context of the challenges of a changing world. It is therefore, in my view, most relevant that the Council from time to time addresses the issue of international law in a more comprehensive way. That is the purpose of this debate today.”
