Summary:

'Empowering the UN Security Council' provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with empowering the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to fulfil its primary responsibility: to maintain international peace and security. Across ten chapters, this book addresses several areas of possible reform, without amending the UN Charter, to improve the representative character of the UNSC, empower its elected members, restrain the use of the veto, and enhance the UNSC's ability to respond to modern threats including aggression and mass atrocity crimes. It explores the UNSC's relations with internal and external partners, including tapping the potential of the UN General Assembly, reinforcing the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, as well as strengthening cooperation with regional arrangements.
