PACIFIC SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES UNDER THE UN CHARTER
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
In any organization for the maintenance of peace and order, the very heart of the system is to be found in its provisions for the peaceful settlement of disputes and for the adjustment of situations which might lead to the use of force. 1 A plan for the peaceful settlement of international disputes is the very heart of any charter establishing an international organization to maintain peace and security. Greater emphasis may be given and greater popular interest may attach, particularly in time of war, to provisions for the joint use of national economic and military forces in restraint of aggression. Yet it must be admitted that peace and security are most completely assured when the necessity for resort to collective force does not exist, and when nations, like individuals in a well-ordered society, settle their differences by peaceful means.2 Under the Charter plan, the organs of the United Nations which are concerned with the pacific settlement of disputes are the General Assembly, the Security Council, the International Court of Justice, and the Secretariat. In addition, the Charter recognizes regional agencies for the pacific settlement of disputes which may be established under regional arrangements. The only requirement is that such regional agencies and their activities shall be consistent with the principles and purposes of the Organization3.Peaceful settlement of international disputes is listed in Article 14 of the Charter as the first purpose of the United Nations, and the obligation of the states to settle disputes peacefully is contained in Article 2(3)5 of the UN Charter, one of its corner stone provisions and the whole chapter of chapter VI6 of the Charter specially deals with this question.
