Legitimidade do conselho de segurança da ONU e seu papel na promoção da paz mundial

Abstract

The approach aimed at, in this work, is dedicated to analyze the legitimacy of the United Nations Security Council under the most recent philosophical and scientific criteria of public international law doctrine. Unlike domestic law, international law lacks rigid structure and consists, normatively, in a fragile legal system widely questioned from the complex to the most basic of its institutions. Given the need for standardization of basic understandings of this legal branch, it is highlighted the formulation and correspondence of important concepts such as "human rights", "right to peace" and "legitimacy". Exposing the fundamental philosophical premises governing the contemporary internationalist doctrine, this view clings to the universality of the right to peace in all its analyzes and evaluates humanitarian interventions with competing legal arguments. It is made the examination of "legitimacy" applied to public international law, which permits the formulation of a modern notion of the former in dealing with the institutions of the latter, ending, specifically, in the international organizations concerned with the protection of world peace. Finally, it is verified the law governing the UN Security Council, contextualizing it historically and politically. The origin of the institution, its historical motivation and its role in promoting world peace are all displayed in order to make a conclusion deemed to consider it strategically related to the presented concept of legitimacy.
