Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the contentious issue of UN Security Council reform, this seminar paper examines the Council's roles and functions while exploring past reform attempts and various proposed models. It critically analyzes the tension between efficiency and legitimacy in reform discussions. The author contends that expanding the number of permanent members and altering veto powers are unacceptable compromises. Instead, the paper suggests that incorporating six additional non-permanent members could serve as a feasible solution to enhance the Council's effectiveness.
