The International Law Commission has codified and developed the law of institutional responsibility, but, while indispensable, these principles and rules cannot on their own ensure compliance and accountability. The 'liberty deficit' of the UN and of other international organisations thus remains an urgent legal and political problem. Some solutions may be available; indeed, recent state and institutional practice offers interesting examples in this respect. But at a fundamental level we need to ask ourselves whether, judged on the basis of the principle of liberty, the power shift from states to international organisations is always beneficial. 410 0$aCambridge studies in international and comparative law (Cambridge, England : 1996) ;$v82. 517 3 $aThe UN & Human Rights 606 $aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights. 676 $a341.4/8 686 $aLAW051000$2bisacsh 700 $aVerdirame$b Guglielmo$0612111 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781869803321 996 $aThe UN and human rights$93714879 997 $aUNINA
