4 I am grateful to J. Ashley Roach for suggesting in discussion that this was not the intention behind the UNSCRs, but that they rather served to provide political and legal certainty (or “cover”) to states who either doubt the de facto effectiveness of the Transitional Federal Government or do not recognize it as a de jure government. Others have since suggested to me that a UNSCR is also constitutionally useful for some states in terms of domestic authority to deploy military forces overseas.
