Over the years, the Security Council has on several occasions dealt with humanitarian assistance issues. However, it is Security Council Resolution 2165(2014), related to the situation in Syria, that has brought the role of the Security Council to the forefront of the debate. It is against this background that the article discusses the legal issues arising from Security Council action facilitating humanitarian assistance to be delivered in situations of non-international armed conflict.Following a brief survey of relevant practice of the Security Council related to humanitarian assistance, the article considers the relevance, if any, of Article 2(7) of the Charter of the United Nations (UN) to humanitarian assistance to be delivered in such situations. It then moves on to analyse whether a rejection by the territorial state of humanitarian aid to be delivered by third parties may amount to a situation under Article 39 of the UN Charter. It then considers in detail whether (at least implicitly) Resolution 2165 has been adopted under Chapter VII and, if this is not the case, whether it can be still considered to be legally binding.The article finally considers what impact the adoption of Security Council Resolution 2165 might have on the interpretation of otherwise applicable rules of international humanitarian law and, in particular, the right of third parties to provide humanitarian assistance in a situation of a non-international armed conflict in spite of the absence of consent by the territorial state, and the obligations that members of the Security Council, permanent and non-permanent, have under Common Article 1 of the Geneva Conventions when faced with a draft resolution providing for the delivery of humanitarian assistance, notwithstanding the absence of consent by the territorial state.

人道主义援助和安全理事会

多年来，安理会多次处理人道主义援助问题。然而，正是与叙利亚局势有关的安理会第 2165(2014) 号决议将安理会的作用置于辩论的最前沿。正是在这一背景下，本文讨论了安理会在非国际性武装冲突局势中促进人道主义援助的行动所产生的法律问题。认为《联合国宪章》第 2 条第 7 款与在这种情况下提供人道主义援助的相关性（如有）。然后，它继续分析领土国家拒绝由第三方提供的人道主义援助是否可能构成《联合国宪章》第 39 条规定的情况。然后详细考虑是否（至少隐含地）根据第七章通过了第 2165 号决议，如果不是这样，是否仍然可以认为它具有法律约束力。文章最后考虑了对安理会通过的影响第 2165 号决议可能对其他适用的国际人道法规则进行解释，特别是第三方在非国际性武装冲突情况下提供人道援助的权利，尽管领土所在国没有同意，以及安全理事会常任和非常任理事国的义务，
