The Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Law of International Organizations

The creation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) represents new global visions. The SCO is one of the most recent regional organizations to emerge in the new millennium. It is established within an important region and in a very critical stage. The SCO fulfils the criteria of the status of a regional organization under the law of international organization. However, the SCO needs some improvement, especially with regard to its dispute settlement procedures and better appreciation of its enforcement mechanism in order to realize its goals and objectives.
