Summary: The article argues that the United Nations Security Council’s structure reflects the power balance after World War II rather than today’s multipolar world. It says that limiting permanent membership and veto power to the five victors of World War II obstructs the Council’s work.
Quotes:
“In today’s multipolar world, there is no place for a Security Council limited to the five victors of World War II.”
“Veto power is a handbrake that obstructs rather than helps.”
Which reforms, decided by whom, financed how, and implemented by when? Until those questions are answered, another appeal for “fundamental reform” adds little to a debate that has continued for decades.
