International Intervention to Confront Violent Extremism in Light of United Nations Resolutions

Abstract

In our study of this research, we have clarified the legal framework governing international intervention in cases of violent extremism by stating the legitimacy of international intervention, clarifying the exceptions to cases of international intervention by the United Nations Charter, stating the efforts of the United Nations General Assembly, and analyzing the relevant Security Council resolutions related to the title of our research. A number of international resolutions were analyzed, their legal contents were reviewed, their binding nature was stated, and their impact on the behavior of member states was explained. We concluded that international resolutions contributed to the crystallization of a comprehensive international approach to combating violent extremism through international cooperation and coordination, criminalizing extremism, and preventing its financing, in accordance with human rights and taking humanitarian considerations into account.

International intervention is required in situations that require intervention by the international community, especially if there is a threat to international peace and security. Security Council resolutions are the legal basis for combating violent extremism under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter and Article 39 of the United Nations Charter, which grants the authority to determine the existence of a threat to international peace and security to take mandatory measures. Violent extremism is one of the phenomena that threaten international peace and security, which prompted the United Nations to issue international resolutions to confront it, as we indicated in the body of the research.
