From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

What about some stuff about Security Council reforms, democratization and non-veto system???? UN Security Council refom.Mac 11:16 Mar 14, 2003 (UTC)

Uh, this is an article about the UN, not abt unachievable fantasies.

I'm interested in knowing more about the security council resolution. Particularly, I'd appreciate if someone could ellaborate on the legal binding-ness of SC resolutions. The mention to the ICJ's Namibia case in the current version is something I still cannot understand. Isn't that about UN General Assembly resolutions? Thanks, Tomos 00:59 2 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Soviet to Russ transition

I rewrote the sentence to

After the USSR broke up and then formally dissolved itself, the Russian Federation was treated as its successor.

but i wonder if this was the full story: it is likely that

• one of the measures involved in the dissolution was the SU formally "notifying" the UN that it was designating the RF as its successor in the seat, and if so it may be (diplomacy being a diplomatic affair) that the UN
  • took explicit note of that assertion or not, but if so
    • acknowledged that the designation was binding upon it, or
    • asserted that the designation was legally irrelevant, or
    • avoided the question.

(There is no mention in international law of the important concept of successor state, which may even deserve an article.)

--- Would someone who knows something about the subject (e.g. anyone but me ;} ) like to write a paragraph on the actual day-to-day operation of the Security Council- how the countries are represented, how the meetings are run, etc? I found a reference elsewhere to Sir Patrick Dean having been president of the Security Council (for a month-long term, I think?), but I'm not sure what that role entails. Anyone out there in wiki-space feel like filling the rest of us in? -FZ
