About the United Nations Counter-Terrorism
Implementation Task Force
The United Nations Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) was established by the Secretary-General in 2005 to ensure overall coordination and coherence in the counter-terrorism efforts of the United Nations system. CTITF is chaired by a senior United Nations official appointed by the Secretary-General and consists of 25
United Nations system entities and INTERPOL.
The United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which brings together into one coherent framework decades of United Nations counter-terrorism policy and legal responses emanating from the General Assembly, the Security Council and relevant United Nations specialized agencies, has been the focus of the work of CTITF since its adoption by the General Assembly in September 2006 (General Assembly resolution 60/288).

    Alien Tort Statute (ATS)

    The Court has since stated that the ATS provides “a cause of action for [a] modest number of international law violations.” To discern if a modern offense also violates the law of nations, which is also known as customary international law, courts will examine whether the offense “rest[s] on a norm of international character accepted by the civilized world and defined with specificity comparable to the features of the 18th century paradigms.” Further, a customary norm should be “specific, universal, and…

    Why United States Absence From International Criminal Court (ICC)?

    The ICC is an inappropriate vehicle to promote the international law of the envelope or the definition of the early offense itself is politically controversial (such as the use of nuclear weapons or the crime of aggression). Elements give meaning to the principle of legality, Nullum crimen sine lege ("no crime without law"), and the requirements of any guidance should be how to prove the sponsor and the defense lawyer than it should be defended against. It is so important to United State are concerns that ICC judges – in the absence of elements - can apply them differently, and are not always associated with the experience of shaping the unforeseen patterns of the law. Such judicial activism is improper for anybody indirectly accountable to the people, it is particularly applicable to criminal courts. The United States government has been seeking bilateral non-surrender agreements (BIAs), or so-called “Article 98” agreements and other known as “American Service Members’ Protection Act” as the shield United States citizens which only the ICC’s jurisdiction. Moreover, the agreements constitute a breach of international law if signed state parties of ICC and many ICC advocates condemn the U.S. BIAs as an inexcusable attempt to gain immunity from the crimes under the Rome…

    Genocide in Rwanda: international response

    In the course of a hundred days in 1994, over 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed in the Rwandan genocide. It was the fastest, most efficient killing spree of the twentieth century. My thesis is that the international community utterly failed to prevent and stop this atrocity. I will focus on numerous interconnected aspects that led to international inaction and also on the main actors, Belgium, the United Nations Secretariat, the United States and France, that knew that there was genocide underway in Rwanda - therefore, they had a responsibility to prevent and stop the genocide, but lacked political will. This led to inaction at the level of the Security Council (SC), where member states fixated on the ongoing civil war rather than discussing the genocide, which would have required them to act under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948, article 5)1. Finally, it will be shown that this international letdown had dreadful consequences for the United Nations Assistance Mission For Rwanda (UNAMIR), which, with neither adequate resources nor mandate, became an eyewitness to the extermination.…

    World Order R2P Sample Essay

    R2P can give rise to the use of force through ‘third pillar’ measures, however critics of have often called upon the possibilities for its perversion in justifying imperialist state behaviour. For instance, a speech given at the General Assembly Thematic Dialogue on the Responsibility to Protect 2009 outlined the issues in R2P as the notions of ‘manifestly failing’ significantly sharpen the UN Charter Article 42. The issue raised in this was that the Security Council could not be considered a ‘neutral arbiter’ of international law whose members’ own sovereign interests were often vested from global security. For instance, the US is not party the Rome Statute 1998, its political will is likely to be vested to unilaterally respond to mass atrocity crimes as to not see the deterrent value of the ICC and the pressures for the US to ratify it heightened. The parallels of an R2P in the charters of IGOs reaffirm the disapproval for unilateral intervention from ‘hegemonial’ states. For instance, the Organisation of American States Doctrine bars intervention ‘for any reason whatever’ due to the membership of the ‘superpowers of the north’ that may infringe on its sovereignty, whilst The…

    Drones And The International Rule Of Law Analysis

    Basically she points out many inconsistencies and contradictions of UN charters and resolutions on international rule of law and sovereignty, claiming that despite the fact UN recognizes all states as equal formally, still Security Council grants veto power to only five most powerful states. Also the author claims UN charters are implicit and ambiguous, or even too broad making it possible for some states to interpret these internationally accepted laws and concepts in their own interest so that to avoid conflict and criticism. She also indicates the challenge for individuals to get access to law because of the lack of mechanism, however individuals can prove theirs right through a very few means within the international system. The author uses very important and clear quotes of UN charters and descriptions regarding rule of law and sovereignty, however she fails to mention that the U.S. also should comply with international rule of…
