This paper discusses transparency in the working method of the United Nations Security Council. It describes the institutional design of the organ and the evolution of Security Council powers, and seeks to identify whether there is an obligation for the Council to act in a transparent manner in the exercise of its powers. The paper argues that transparency is an 'ancillary' obligation incumbent on the Council, to allow for decentralised control over the exercise of its powers by Member States of the UN. Transparency having no independent normative charge, we do not how much of it is good -- this is determined by a pattern of protest and reaction between the Security Council and the Member States called upon to implement its decisions.

Transparency in the security council

Among the many phenomena that characterize contemporary law, three stand out: the multiplication of normative sources, the emergence of private regimes, and the proliferation of conflict resolution mechanisms. The first influences one of the fundamental elements of international law since the eighteenth century. The second calls into question the notion of hierarchy and the bases of validation of the legal framework. The third evidences the emergence of a disjointed international system. The three phenomena are remarkable because together they may betray a fragmentation of international law.
