ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights what the specificities of the eight components of the framework that can be used both to measure previous and reshape future decision-making in the Council. Certain components of the rule of law are addressed together, owing to the fact that they may not perhaps examine various independent elements of vast field of international law, but rather different facets of Security Council action. The predictability paradox is the amalgamation of non-arbitrary action, the supremacy of the law in decision-making processes and fairness in the application of the law. This component asks whether the Council is bound by these norms or the Council can act outside of international human rights law, asking whether the Council has acted consistently with jus cogens and customary norms and if so, how it balances these with the maintenance of international peace and security. The primary sources that emerge from the Security Council are only as beneficial as they are detailed and widely available.
