UN Security Council Resolutions (Hansard, 24 June 2003)

HC Deb 24 June 2003 vol 407 c710W 710W

§ Tony Worthington
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what procedures are in place whereby the legality of Resolution 1422 of the UN Security Council may be judicially determined.[121055]

§ Mr. Rammell
The Government are not aware of any means by which a binding judicial decision by an international tribunal on the legality of Resolution 1422 could be made. In certain circumstances the International Court of Justice may give advisory opinions, but these are not binding. The Government have no doubt as to the legality of Resolutions 1422 and 1487.
