development aid and international politics does membership on the UN Security coUNcil influence world bank decisions
Journal of Development Economics, 2009Co-Authors: Axel Dreher, Janegbert Sturm, James Raymond VreelandAbstract:We investigate whether temporary members of the UN Security CoUNcil receive favorable treatment from the World Bank, using panel data for 157 coUNtries over the period 1970-2004. Our results indicate a robust positive relationship between temporary UN Security CoUNcil membership and the number of World Bank projects a coUNtry receives, even after accoUNting for economic and political factors, as well as regional and coUNtry effects. The size of World Bank loans, however, is not affected by UN Security CoUNcil membership.

Does membership on the UN Security CoUNcil influence IMF decisions? Evidence from panel data
2006Co-Authors: Axel Dreher, Janegbert Sturm, James Raymond VreelandAbstract:We investigate whether temporary members of the UN Security CoUNcil receive favorable treatment from the IMF, using panel data for 191 coUNtries over the period 1951 to 2004. Our results indicate a robust positive relationship between temporary UN Security CoUNcil membership and participation in IMF programs, even after accoUNting for economic and political factors, as well as regional and coUNtry effects, and duration dependence. There is also evidence that UNSC membership reduces the number of conditions included in IMF programs. The size of the loan, however, is not affected by UNSC membership.

Beyond Chapter VIII: Limits and OpportUNities for Regional Representation at the UN Security CoUNcil
International Organizations Law Review, 2010Co-Authors: Edith DrieskensAbstract:Zooming in on the serving European UNion (EU) Member States and exploring the legal parameters defining regional actorness both directly and indirectly, this article analyzes the EU's representation at the UNited Nations (UN) Security CoUNcil. Looking at the theory and practice behind Articles 52, 23 and 103 of the UN Charter, we shed fresh light on the only provision in the European Treaties that explicitly referred to the UN Security CoUNcil, i.e. the former Article 19 of the EU Treaty. We define that provision as a regional interpretation of Article 103 of the UN Charter and discuss its implementation in day-to-day decision-making, especially as for economic and financial sanctions measures. Hereby, we focus on the negotiations leading to UN Security CoUNcil Resolution 1822(2008).

In Search of a European Dimension in the UN Security CoUNcil
The International Spectator, 2007Co-Authors: Edith Drieskens, Daniele Marchesi, Bart KerremansAbstract:Both Belgium and Italy want to give their current mandate in the UN Security CoUNcil a European dimension. Yet, the conclusion that they are natural partners in doing so may be premature. Before focussing on Belgian and Italian objectives, the article presents the current state of the ongoing reform processes in Brussels and New York and of EU actorness in the Security CoUNcil more generally, as both are critical for estimating the prospects for a stronger European profile. It concludes by discussing the possibilities and constraints that the non-permanent members face within this framework.

UN Security CoUNcil Resolution 1373
Fighting Terrorism through Multilevel Criminal Legislation, 2010Co-Authors: E.j. Husabø, I. BruceAbstract:This chapter deals with UN Security CoUNcil Resolution 1373, which highlights that all States shall prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts, Criminalize the wilful provision, and prohibits their nationals or any persons and entities within their territories from making any fUNds. It decides that all States shall refrain from providing any form of support, active or passive, to entities or persons involved in terrorist acts, deny safe haven to those who finance, plan, support, or commit terrorist acts, and prevent the movement of terrorists or terrorist groups by effective border controls and controls on issuance of identity papers. The Security CoUNcil calls upon all States to find ways of intensifying and accelerating the exchange of operational information, exchange information in accordance with international and domestic law, and take appropriate measures in conformity with the relevant provisions of national and international law.Keywords: Resolution 1373; terrorist acts; UN Security CoUNcil

Chapter 2. The UN Security CoUNcil Resolution 1373
Fighting Terrorism through Multilevel Criminal Legislation, 2010Co-Authors: E.j. Husabø, I. BruceAbstract:The basic premise of Resolution 1373 is that international terrorism constitutes a threat that triggers the CoUNcil's powers UNder Chapter VII. This chapter first describes the concept of international terrorism on which the Resolution is based. Thereafter, its measures are explored. The measures contained in Resolution 1373 reflect the Security CoUNcil's comprehensive approach to the threat of international terrorism by being addressed to all states rather than to states or groups involved in the 11 September attacks. In order to UNderstand the Resolution as an integrated whole, all measures are analysed together, including measures that do not relate to criminal law and measures that are not intended to be binding UNder Chapter VII. Following this survey, the extraordinary normative nature of the Resolution, its legislative character, is explained more thoroughly. Based on the UNderstanding of the Resolution established hitherto, its legal basis UNder the UN Charter is discussed.Keywords: 11 September 2001; coUNter-terrorism measures; criminal law; international terrorism; UN Security CoUNcil Resolution 1373

The UN Security CoUNcil and Iraq
2013Co-Authors: David M. Malone, Poorvi ChitalkarAbstract:The UN Security CoUNcil, largely handicapped by the Cold War UNtil the late 1980s, has become considerably more proactive over the last twenty-five years. The results are mixed. One constant for the CoUNcil since 1980 is that it has been at grips with conflicts involving Iraq — conflicts with Iraq’s neighbours and also internal strife prior to and particularly since 2003. Every instrument at the CoUNcil’s disposal, including all the coercive ones, have been invoked at one time or another against authorities in Iraq or to assist them. After a promising beginning in helping to end the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88), and in mandating the expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which Baghdad had sought to annex in 1990, the CoUNcil’s silent tolerance of intrusive international humanitarian activities in Iraq’s Kurdish provinces as of 1991 was groUNd-breaking. Nevertheless, the CoUNcil’s post-war strategy for Iraq outlined in Resolution 687 of 1991 woUNd up over-reaching, involved serious UNintended consequences arising from an overzealous sanctions regime (and a related humanitarian program the UN did not possess the administrative machinery to oversee effectively), and eventually sUNdered relations among the Permanent Five (P-5) members of the CoUNcil through a series of fractious episodes from 1988 to 2003. This working paper outlines a three-decade span of Security CoUNcil resolutions, actions and impasses on Iraq, investigating closely the period of diplomatic confrontation in 2002–2003 culminating in UNilateral military action to remove Saddam Hussein from power by the US, the UK and a very few others without a mandate from the CoUNcil to do so. The UN was subsequently mostly side-lined in and on Iraq. The paper considers damage to perceptions of the CoUNcil legitimacy stemming from the events of 2002–2003 and assesses its evolving approach to international Security in Iraq and beyond since then.

The UN Security CoUNcil in the Post-Cold War World: 1987-97
Security Dialogue, 1997Co-Authors: David M. MaloneAbstract:The UN Security CoUNcil (UNSC) has experienced significant changes since the end of the Cold War. The article surveys key shifts in UNSC attitudes, mandates and activities between 1987 and 1997, nearly all of which stem from the twin phenomena of greater cooperation among the Permanent Five members (P-5) of the CoUNcil and of the CoUNcil's growing focus on civil wars and intercommUNal strife which has laUNched the CoUNcil into new and largely UNtested waters. It argues that CoUNcil decisions since 1987 have profoUNd significance for, and have enhanced the CoUNcil's role in, international relations despite several spectacular setbacks, notably in Bosnia and in Somalia. These decisions have eroded and redefined the concept of sovereignty.
