ABSTRACT

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the revitalization of the Security Council (SC) has resulted in an extraordinary increase in its activity and in the im­ agination with which its powers have been implemented. In recent years, the SC has taken decisions on general issues, not necessarily linked to a particular conflict, and has established rules of general scope that oblige Member States of the United Nations (UN) to adopt legislation and administrative acts in their internal legal systems. This has particularly been the case in the fight against terrorism, where it has been said that the SC has begun to behave as a global legislator.
