Justification of Responsibility in the UN Security Council

Published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2020, this paperback edition spans 260 pages and delves into the complex dynamics of the UN Security Council's role in maintaining international peace and security.

Niemann challenges the common narrative that the Security Council has failed in its objectives. Instead, he presents a nuanced argument that the processes of contestation, politicisation, and delegitimation can actually enhance the legitimacy of the Council. This book is essential for anyone interested in international relations, political science, or the workings of global governance.
