Constructing sovereignty for security

Article Abstract:

The UN Secretary-General's High-Level Panel constitute the contemporary version of a long standing security task, the stabilization of the periphery by Great Powers, which must be carried out in a world governed by the universal juridical sovereignty of the nation-state. The UN Secretary-General has supported the concept of a 'duty to protect' that can at times override sovereignty, but it is not only the sovereignty of the states enduring conflict that might have to be compromised.

Kosovo is run as protectorate of the United Nations since 1999, and it is widely expected that, against the wishes of the government in Belgrade, Kosovo would be granted some form of 'conditional independence'. It is argued that probable eventual recognition of the new state, while it would be preferable for this to be done through the Security Council, if Russia or China prevented this, another route would have to be found.
