Issued without a dust jacket. -- A legal and political analysis of how the UN's two main bodies - the General Assembly and the Security Council - have addressed terrorism over six decades. It evaluates more than 130 resolutions to determine if these measures are both legal under international law and perceived as legitimate by member states. Core Themes and Framework: - Legality vs. Legitimacy [the book distinguishes between legality (whether a measure falls within the legal powers of the UN organ) and legitimacy (the "quality" of a measure that encourages member states to comply)]; - Thomas Franck's Theory [van Ginkel applies legal scholar Thomas Franck's four indicators of legitimacy - determinacy, pedigree, coherence, and adherence - to assess why some UN counter-terrorism policies are more effective than others]; - The Security Council's Evolution [the study examines the shift in the Security Council's role from a reactive body to one that adopts "legislative" and "adjudicative" functions, particularly after 9/11, and the resulting concerns about it overstepping its constitutional powers]; - General Assembly Focus [it analyzes the General Assembly's efforts to address the "root causes" of terrorism (such as misery and grievance) and its struggle to establish a universal definition of terrorism]. The author argues that the effectiveness of the UN's counter-terrorism policy is directly tied to its legitimacy. Member states are significantly more likely to implement and adhere to measures they perceive as legitimate, suggesting that strengthening these qualities is essential for a successful global policy.
