If, for the most part, the Security Council has rarely concerned itself about violations of constitutional order, a recent trend seems to be emerging in which compliance with national Constitutions and the maintenance of international peace are perceived as being more closely related.application/pdfporopenAccessONUCONSELHO DE SEGURANÇA DAS NAÇÕES UNIDASDIREITODIREITO INTERNACIONALDIPLOMACIAPAZ MUNDIALDIREITO CONSTITUCIONALESTADO DE DIREITOUNITED NATIONSUNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCILLAWINTERNATIONAL LAWDIPLOMACYWORLD PEACECONSTITUTIONAL LAWRULE OF LAWarticle
