Abstract

In recent years, the rule of law (ROL) has become a central part of the rhetorical armoury of the United Nations (UN) generally and the UN Security Council (UNSC) more particularly. Of course, it is not merely the UN that has fallen for the ROL; the concept has enjoyed a stellar rise to international celebrity, since and in large part because of the end of the Cold War. The shift from sidelines to central stage has been vividly evident in the UN, however, since the major protagonists are assembled there, and the change was public and swift.
