ABSTRACT

This chapter identifies the mechanisms of shared governance operating between the international community and the organized community in particular between states, international organizations, and UN bodies for the objective implementation of global constitutional principles, which have been developed up to now through practice and have become customary procedural rules and general principles of international law. It gives attention to the recognition of the mechanisms of the integrated system of international law enforcement. The chapter examines the concurrent activity carried out by UN bodies outside the institutional framework to integrate collective state enforcement action, thus granting it legitimacy. It adopts a prudent approach and considers all the signals coming from both the action of states operating in the common interest and the related integrative action of the UN bodies. It gives attention to the changes to the international legal order resulting both from action by states on behalf of the international community to protect the basic values embodied in the norms.
