The UN Security Council is endowed with unique legally binding powers under the UN Charter which no other international institution can approximate.
How has the Councils’s practice evolved since the end of the Cold War?
Malone’s remarks will unfold under three main headings after a brief introduction.
– Salient new features in Council decision making
– New factors driving Council decision making
– New institutional developments in the Councils life (including pressure for reform of the council’s composition)
