International organisations and anti-terrorist sanctions: no accountability for human rights violations?

Draghici, C. (2009). International organisations and anti-terrorist sanctions: no accountability for human rights violations?. Critical Studies on Terrorism, 2(2), pp. 293-312. doi: 10.1080/17539150903021563

Abstract

The targeted sanctions adopted by the UN Security Council against individuals and entities suspected of association with terrorism are managed through procedures that infringe fundamental human rights, and there are no mechanisms for actual accountability. With the exception of the ECJ in Kadi, municipal and regional courts tend to consider the UN Security Council's resolutions and domestic measures implementing them outside the scope of judicial review. This article argues that the Security Council is bound to observe human rights even in the context of international security action, and that States are not exonerated from international responsibility for violations committed under the umbrella of Chapter VII resolutions.
