2. Catherine Denis, ‘Le Pouvoir normatif du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies: Portée et limites’, 2004, Chapter 2, gives a detailed overview, concluding that in such instances the Counsel acts ‘tel un juge’ (para. 115).
3. For a more detailed view, see Denis, supra n. 2, Chapter 3. Resolutions 827 (1993) and 955 (1994), establishing the ad hoc criminal tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, might also be deemed legislative in the sense that the establishment of judicial bodies is usually the role of the legislature. However, they do not concern the competence of the Council to legislate in the sense of producing norms of general and abstract applicability.
4. On ‘thematic resolutions’ in general, see Denis, supra n. 2, paras. 118-130; on the earlier anti-terrorist resolutions, id., paras. 171-181.
