Ah, marcos, don't read the skinny, read the real thing where you will find things such as this [p. 5]: Given the Security Council's propensity for paralysis, alternative means of enforcement must be considered. The second most legitimate enforcer is the regional organization that is most likely to be affected by the emerging threat. After that, the next best option would be another regional organization, such as NATO, with a less direct connection to the targeted state but with a sufficiently broad membership to permit serious deliberation over the exercise of a collective duty. It is only after these options are tried in good faith that unilateral action or coalitions of the willing should be considered. Isn't that what happened in Iraq? I tell you, it's not an easy subject...wasn't I supposed to shut up about it?
