ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts of the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book begins with three narratives: one of valour, one of failure and one of forced aggression. The provisions of the UN Charter prescribe when the UN may resort to force to prevent or rectify threats to, or breaches of, international peace and security. The book considers the content of the specific International Human Rights Law (IHRL) and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Rules by which UN uses of force could be regulated but this analysis was limited in several respects. It analyses how the Conflicts of law created by the parallel application of IHL and IHRL standards to UN uses of force could be resolved in a way that reduces the gap between the Promises made and Outcomes secured by the UN in relation to its use of force.
