2 In his previous study, Wainhouse more accurately judged that the Cuban missile crisis “does not offer any useful precedent with respect to the exercise of observation and verification functions by international organizations, since neither the OAS nor the UN was given the opportunity to perform such functions.” International Peace Observation, p. 166.

3 An honorable exception is his judgment that the 1965 Dominican intervention “contravened” the OAS Charter. But in dealing with the UN-regional jurisdictional dispute epitomized in that case, he then pronounces the extraordinary legal view that: “It is highly unlikely that this issue, charged with strong political differences, can be settled in the Security Council. The question is one properly for the International Court of Justice to answer and those who believe in the rule of law should be prepared to submit it for an advisory opinion” (p. 501).
