<p align="justify">As peacekeeping has evolved to encompass a broader humanitarian approach, women personels have become increasingly part of the peacekeeping family. The UN has called for more deployment of female peacekeepers to enhance the overall “holistic” approach to current UN peacekeeping operations. There is clearly more work to be done to integrate more female peacekeepers into UN missions. More skilled and trained female peacekeepers can only be an asset to future peacekeeping operations. In October 2000, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. The resolution was hailed as a landmark resolution in that for the first time, the Security Council recognised the contribution women make during and post-conflict. Since the adoption of Resolution 1325, attention to gender perspectives within the international peace agenda has ¬firmly been placed within the broader peace and security framework. This article explains the development of Indonesian female peacekeepers contribution in the period of 2009-20016 and argues why Indonesia needs to support and to consider deploying more female peacekeepers in UN peacekeeping operations.</p>

Normative Powers

The chapter discusses the concepts of shared values and value-based norms. It examines two areas of international law that provide illustrative examples of contestation of value-based norms: the fight against impunity under international criminal law and the debates about the responsibility to protect. It argues that the African Union’s (AU) difference of view with the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the indictment of Omar Al-Bashir is not a rejection of the non-impunity norm, but of the context and sequencing of its application. As regards the right of intervention codified in the Constitutive Act of the AU, Africans states responded to the failure of the Security Council to invoke its existing normative powers in the Rwanda situation by establishing a treaty-based norm of intervention, the first time that a regional international instrument had ever done so. Thus, in both cases one cannot speak of a decline of international law.

Quadripartite Activity: The only quadripartite activity which was carried on during the period under review was the discussion of Germany at the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in Paris from May 23 to June 20, 1949. A series of informal conversations between Philip C. Jessup, Ambassador-at-Large of the United States, and Yakov A. Malik, Soviet Representative on the Security Council, in New York had led to an agreement for the lifting of the blockade of Berlin on May 10 and the convening of the Council of Foreign Ministers ten days later. The blockade was only partially lifted, however, due to restrictions on auto traffic between Berlin and Helmstedt, and a strike of railroad workers in the Eastern Sector of Berlin. On June 3, the Russian Commandant in Berlin, Major-General Alexander Kotikov, met with the United States, British, and French Commanders for the first time since June 16, 1948, to discuss the rail strike. No agreement was reached, however. The rail strike was finally settled on June 29, 1949.

UN Security Council Resolution 242, drafted to deal with the consequences of the 1967 war, left the outstanding issues of 1948 unresolved. For the first time, new Israeli conflict-resolution proposals that are in principle based on 242 directly involve Palestinian citizens of Israel. This essay explores these proposals, which reflect Israel's preoccupation with maintaining a significant Jewish majority and center on population and territorial exchanges between Israeli settlements in the West Bank and heavily populated Arab areas inside the green line. After tracing the genesis of the proposals, the essay assesses them from the standpoint of international law.

In Resolution 2532 (2020), the UN Security Council characterised the COVID-19 pandemic as an endangerment to international peace and security and, for the first time, demanded a general ceasefire and humanitarian pause in armed conflicts across the globe. This article analyses the resolution and its broader implications. In particular, it examines the significance of the Council’s characterisation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the binding powers of the Security Council for addressing threats to international peace and security which are not ‘threats to the peace’, and the implications for the Council’s mandate and the collective security framework. This article argues that the concept of ‘international peace and security’ under Article 24(1) of the United Nations (UN) Charter – rather than Article 39 ‘threats to the peace’ – is fundamental to the delimitation of the Security Council’s mandate and powers for addressing non-traditional threats to international peace and security such as pandemics and the climate crisis.

Significance This will be Abu Dhabi’s first time on the Security Council since the 1980s, and it is promoting it as a marker of global leadership status, together with its ventures into space and hosting of key international events. Impacts The UAE will also intensify efforts to raise its global profile by hosting more cultural, sporting and related events. Abu Dhabi’s first UNSC presidency, which it takes up in March 2022, will allow it to set the agenda on key topics of interest. The UAE may take the opportunity to draw attention to its longstanding ‘Three-Island Dispute’ with Iran.
