Istrefi: European Judicial Responses to Security Council Resolutions: A Consequentialist Assessment

Kushtrim Istrefi (Univ. of Amsterdam - Law) has published European Judicial Responses to Security Council Resolutions: A Consequentialist Assessment (Brill | Nijhoff 2019). Here is the abstract:
In this book, Kushtrim Istrefi explores the multiple effects of European courts decisions as regards Security Council targeted sanctions and security detentions interfering with fundamental rights. He elaborates what type of judicial responses ensured real and practical respect for human rights for the petitioners, encouraged Security Council due process reform, clarified Security Council authorisations on security detentions, and tested the primacy and universal character of the UN Charter. Making use of legal and non-legal instruments, Istrefi sheds some light upon what happened to, among others, petitioners, the SC due process reform agenda, and the UN Charter after such cases as Kadi, Al-Jedda, Ahmed, Al-Dulimi.
