The UN Security Council in the Age of Human Rights
Cambridge University Press, 2014
Co-Edited by Jared Genser and Bruno Stagno Ugarte

w/united-nations-security-council-age-human-rights>

For decades the UN Security Council skirted human rights, addressing them
sporadically, reluctantly, and typically without reference to binding
standards. That began to change with the end of the Cold War, as easing
political tensions allowed the Council gradually to act on the fact that
upholding the norms against atrocities is intimately connected to its
classic mandate of defending international peace and security. Yet even
since then, that evolution has been contested, particularly when the
Council¹s permanent five members fear the topic might come back to haunt
them or their close allies. This exceptional volume of essays provides a
comprehensive assessment of the Council¹s conflicting views on human
rights with more nuance, sophistication, and historical memory than
anything else around. It helps us to understand how the shifting battles
over human rights are being waged in the Council and provides guidance as
to how the Council can more effectively defend our rights in the future.

Kenneth Roth, Executive Director, Human Rights Watch

Genser and Stagno Ugarte¹s authoritative new volume serves as an
indispensable guide to understanding the complex UN Security Council and
human rights nexus. The editors have assembled a stellar cast of renowned
practitioners and academics to provide their candid and personal
perspectives. Their book, underpinned by meticulous research, offers a
unique and penetrating critique of the Council¹s progress and failures in
preventing and responding to human rights abuses. It also serves as a
vital clarion call for a rejuvenated Security Council that places the
consideration of human rights at the center of its work.
 
Sam Daws, Director, Project on UN and Governance and Reform, Centre for
International Studies, Oxford University
 
During the last 20 years, the UN Security Council has embraced the
protection of individual rights as a matter of international peace and
security. That said, progress has been uneven and there have been both
great strides forward and terrible setbacks. This timely and important
book provides the first comprehensive assessment about how the Security
Council works to address major human-rights challenges around the world
and recommends ways it can do so more effectively.
