- Title
THE DOMESTIC JURISDICTION CLAUSE IN THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER: A HISTORICAL VIEW.
- Authors
AHMED, KAWSER
- Abstract
Like Article 15(8) of the Covenant of the League of Nations, Article 2(7) was inserted in the United Nations Charter (UN Charter) to limit the authority of the organisation in respect of disputes which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of the member states. After 50 years of the establishment of United Nations (UN), today it seems that the importance of the domestic jurisdiction clause has reduced considerably, if it has not already become a misnomer in the context of the UN practice. This essay will try to present a picture of the evolution of the concept of domestic jurisdiction over the period from early nineteenth century to the adoption of the UN Charter. Then it will discuss how the concept has departed from its earlier notion through the practices of the political organs of the UN, particularly due to the influence of new concepts and dimensions of international law.
