The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has failed the COVID-19 test, unable to promote or facilitate multilateral cooperation in dealing with the outbreak. This is worrying given its relevance as a principal organ of the United Nations (UN) that could enable or constrain international cooperation and given the need for such cooperation in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The failure of the UNSC to respond adequately to the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the historical limits of the UNSC as a forum for international cooperation. It also suggests that highlighting and debating UNSC reforms are not sufficient or even productive ways to move forward, especially in the context of the challenges that pandemics and climate change represent for global cooperation. It is far from clear if the UN system can change the global structures on which it was built. What does seem clear is that the UNSC is not where one will find the seeds of change for reimagining global order.

Abstract This article examines the international cooperation provisions under the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and their practical application in reported cases. It explores the circumstances in which States Parties have used or attempted to use the Convention as a legal basis for extradition, mutual legal assistance, transfer of sentenced persons, transfer of criminal proceedings, joint investigations, or other forms of international cooperation. The article seeks to provide a better understanding of the opportunities offered by the international cooperation provisions, and the challenges and obstacles faced by States Parties requesting cooperation or being requested to provide cooperation under the Convention.

The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) from 2003 marks the peak of a broad international development in the fight against corruption, which started in the early 1990s. In recent years, it has been signed and ratified by an overwhelming majority of states. Although the UNCAC is not just a criminal law convention, but encompasses a multitude of rules on prevention, asset recovery, and international cooperation, it also includes a comprehensive arsenal of criminal law provisions. This chapter explores the origin of the UNCAC as a whole and the background and scope of all its criminal law provisions, both mandatory and discretionary.

This article revisits certain aspects of the foundational idea of international cooperation within the framework of the United Nations. By providing an empirically grounded analysis of the use of international law by the Security Council, the article aims at redesigning the breadth, scope, and limits of the United Nations utopian mission of creating a world without war. An argument is made that despite significant legal and political limitations, the United Nations is delivering an increasingly humanised type of international cooperation. Hence, after seven decades it is still on track eventually to deliver a pragmatic utopia.
