Kosovo and the UN Security Council

The American lawyer and expert in international law, Anthony D'Amato criticises the Ahtisaari plan and speaks out in favour of dividing Kosovo into an Albanian and a Serb section: "The solution proposed by Ahtisaari violates international law... The UN's power to divide the territory of Kosovo into an 85 percent and a 15 percent section reflecting the make-up of the population allows the Security Council to enforce Article VII and thus establish international peace and security. In this way Serbia would loose its sovereignty over the areas populated by Albanians. However, the Security Council does not have the right to deprive Serbia of the remaining 15 percent. Accordingly, northern Kosovo should remain part of Serbia."
