- Bardo Fassbender. UN Security Council Reform and the Right of Veto: A Constitutional Perspecitve. 1997 - "The privileged powers of today can only be 'puissances pour interets generaux - states who use their power for the general interest of the international community. Accordingly, the common interest may require furnishing certain states, whose extraordinary commitments to community goals is indispensable, with special rights if otherwise their support cannot be enlisted."
