Talk:United Nations Security Council Resolution 452

Difference between "mandate to enforce by arms" being "not binding under international law"
Your notes very accurately show how chapter VII needs to be invoked in order to issue a mandate to enforce SC decisions. It is very far removed from claiming that without chapter VII, they are considered "non binding under international law". They most certainly are. There is an editor who routinely expounds on these issues, I will try to track him/her down for additional comment.--AladdinSE 22:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


 * the sources repeats the word "binding" 10 times. If this accurately shows something completely different, then it's speaking in code. Amoruso 22:34, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I finally found the material, in another article, that differentiates the findings of fact from recommendations and enforcement measures when referring to what is binding. Your own sources make the distinction. Indeed, the ICJ opinion, also found in the other article, roundly rejects your reasoning. This is the highest and most prestigious body of jurisprudence in the world talking.--AladdinSE 08:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
