Abstract

The international legal order which is founded on the principle of state consent, where states are obliged only by the norms which the state have participated in its development, or at least had the opportunity to influence this development. Therefore, the the United Nation Security Council (UNSC) legislative power will threaten the international legal order. However, Article 38 of the International Court of Justice (I.C.J) statute, which identifies the sources of international law, does not identify the UNSC as a legislature.

This article examined whether the Security Council has the power to assign responsibility, and about the legality of performing the role of investigator and judge at the same time.
