Dialogue on International Security: UN Security Council Reform & the Rule of Law
Against the backdrop of a growing sense of urgency in the efforts to reform the Security Council and in view of the UN Summit of the Future, this open, informal discussion will focus on the possible outcomes for Security Council Reform at the Summit of the Future and the way ahead, in particular regarding the effects on the international order. Amid growing calls for UN Security Council reform, this seminar will facilitate an open, informal, and out-of-the-box discussion on recent initiatives aimed at limiting the use of the veto and enhancing the General Assembly’s role in addressing threats to peace and security. The panel will examine potential mechanisms to overcome the Security Council’s deadlock, particularly in cases of mass atrocities, the need to fully implement Article 27(3) of the UN Charter, and using the General Assembly to its fullest to respond to global crises. Discussions will also explore the implications of automatic consequences for Charter violations.
