Get it. The UNSC SHALL DETERMINE - not the USA or George Bush or John Howard or anyone else - the Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace
It seems as if you are the one that does not understand the law. That means that they will determine (they can determine all they want. Nothing in the wording says that they decide for the other nations).

Make recommendations. You keep ignoring that part.

I am still waiting to see where article 39 says. And I quote

Can you please show me where it says that? I thank you in advance.
