Chernyad'eva N.A. Rulemaking prospects for the UN Security Council in the sphere of antiterrorism

Abstract: The subject of this research is the rulemaking function of the UN Security Council in the area of international security and counterterrorism, as well as prospects for its development. The author analyzes the limits of the competency of this institution. One of the conclusions of this work is the thesis that the antiterrorism resolutions of the Security Council possess lawmaking potential, and can create new rules that would be mandatory for all countries in the area of international security, fight against terrorism, and prevention of new terrorist acts. The author proposes few rules that could set more specific framework for the rulemaking function of the Security Council in the sphere of counterterrorism. This research highlights a number of relevant problems that directly affect the ability to create antiterrorism norms by the Security Council: the limited number of states allowed in the process pf rulemaking; unilateral character of resolution passing; potential contradiction between the mandatory force of the decisions made by the Security Council with the general and fundamental principle of state sovereignty.
