Abstract
This article examines the 2003-2005 reform initiative relative to the Security Council's authority over the use of force. It looks at why the reform discussion began, what proposals grew out of the discussion, and the legal situation following the 2005 World Summit. The conclusion here is that the reform process has had positive results for the international legal regulation of the use of force, human rights protection, and international law generally. International law scholars are in a position to build on these results, supporting the revival and renewal of Charter law, explaining what exactly that law requires and why, and attempting to bring the United States back into the fold.
