Description

The United Nations Security Council: A Selective Approach to Peace and Conflict. Since 1945, the UN Security Council has been grappling with its role in maintaining international peace and security. This book argues that the Council's approach is inherently selective, rather than collective, due to the veto power of its permanent members and the limited willingness of other states to contribute troops or resources. This selectivity is often seen as a problem, but it also has its advantages. By acknowledging the limitations of the Council, this paper evaluates its achievements in addressing conflicts since 1945, shedding light on the division of labour between the Council, regional security bodies, and individual states. By examining the UN Security Council's record over the past seven decades, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the challenges it faces and the ways in which it has adapted to address them.
