Evolutions in NATO Missions and the Need for Strengthening Supervisory System in International LAW (NATO Responsibility Strategy)

Abstract

NATO was formed in response to February 1948 threats and incidents, the Communist Party rise to power in Czechoslovakia, and preventing Soviet forces, specifically and Warsaw Pact forces, generally, from attacking Western countries in North Atlantic. NATO is responsible for preserving international law according to the needs of international organizations and member countries (based on their responsibilities) because NATO military decisions are made through a consensus among member states. Therefore, member states are responsible in compensation for damages caused by NATO violations of law. This study, in addition to analyzing the legal evolution in NATO nature and missions after the Cold War, underlines some of the violations of international laws made by the organization and absence of an international supervisory system that could preside over the implementation of Security Council resolutions, especially in the case of NATO violations. The objective is to provide an opportunity for Iranian diplomatic and policy-making institutions responsible for decision-making to devise strategies in order to deter possible NATO actions against Iran’s security and interests
