Abstract

"This article discusses the need to re-visit—based on existing legal obligations—the problem of veto use by the permanent members of the UN Security Council while there are ongoing atrocity crimes (genocide, crimes against humanity, and/or war crimes). Specifically, the article— which previews the arguments in my forthcoming book—raises the question of whether all such veto use is consistent with international law."
