Implementation of the binding resolutions of the Security Council, with an emphasis on Resolution No. 2231 (JCPOA)

The Security Council, with its political and powerful structure, is one of the pillars of creating and maintaining international order in the current environment. Among the various decisions of this organ, binding resolutions have a special place. Achieving to/ issuing against a chapter seven resolutions is a very powerful motivation among the actors of the international community. But in the final analysis, the way the resolution is implemented in the structure of the international community and the United Nations itself is more important.

The present research was conducted using an analytical method.

By examining the practice of the United Nations and especially the practice of the Security Council, it is clear that the implementation of the resolutions of the seventh chapter is highly politicized and affected by the prevailing international atmosphere. Regardless of the impressive impact of these resolutions, experience has shown that in cases where the binding resolution is in conflict with the interests of a permanent member of the Security Council, even assuming the adoption of such a resolution, its implementation by the UN organs seems very unlikel. Resolution 2231, due to the change in the international atmosphere after its adoption, has not been immune from this scourge, and regardless of its binding structure, it seems very weak in the nature of its power to impose obligations and compulsions against the permanent members of the Security Council.
