INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION AND GLOBAL GOVERNANCE Dersi The United Nations and Global Governance soru detayı:

CEVAP:

The Charter clearly prohibits the organization from intervening in matters that are essentially under the domestic jurisdiction of any state. The only exception is the application of enforcement measures taken by the UNSC. However, the distinction between the domestic affairs and international affairs is not that clear and this makes this principle of “non-interference” quite controversial (Bennett, 1995:60). More importantly, this creates a great dilemma between state sovereignty and the protection of human rights. Particularly in the case of gross and systemic human rights violations, humanitarian intervention has generated a controversial debate in recent international politics (Pease, 2012: 275). On the other hand, because the respect and promotion of human rights is one of the major goals of the UN, there have also been efforts such as the endorsement of “responsibility to protect” (R2P) to secure a reconciliation between these basic principles and the protection of human rights.
