Abstract
This article explores issues concerning peace-keeping and peace-making competencies under the U.N. Charter, especially issues regarding U.N. Charter policies at stake and peace-making roles of the Security Council, the Secretary-General, the I.C.J., and U.N. members. The backdrop involved Serbian aggression in Bosnia-Herzegovina and ongoing acts of genocide. Also addressed is U.S. constitutionally-based presidential power to implement treaty-based authority to engage in peace-making military action.
