The United Nations as a dispute settlement system: improving mechanisms for the prevention and resolution of conflict
PECK Connie
The United Nations as a dispute settlement system: improving mechanisms for the prevention and resolution of conflict - The Hague: Kluwer Law International, 1996 - 301p.
Provides a comprehensive review of preventive diplomacy, examines the obstacles to the effective practice of preventive diplomacy, and discusses various models which have been proposed to evercome these obstacles. Examines the UN structures and concludes that the Security Council is not well suited to the task. Proposes a less political and more autonomous specialist function within the UN under the Secretary-General. Also recognises the value of peace building as distinct from conflict prevention.
