Abstract

The article discusses the release of an updated edition of the leading Commentary on the UN Charter, which includes extensive revisions and additions reflecting current international practices and challenges. This Fourth Edition features a comprehensive review of state practices, international organization activities, and case law, with new sections addressing climate change and the Human Rights Council. It emphasizes the need for a critical reassessment of the UN's effectiveness in maintaining peace and security, particularly in light of ongoing global issues such as armed conflicts, human rights violations, and the impacts of climate change. The commentary aims to serve as a vital resource for scholars and practitioners in understanding and applying the principles of the UN Charter in contemporary contexts. [Extracted from the article]
