Reforming the UN Security Council Membership: The illusion of representativeness

By Sabine Hassler

Book Overview

This book comprehensively examines the different proposals put forward for reforming the United Nations Security Council, analysing their objectives and exploring whether the implementation of their proposals would actually create a representative and more effective Security Council. It offers an inquiry into the Council's constitutional set-up and how far that set-up still reflects the expectations and intentions of the founding nations, whilst remaining flexible enough to satisfy today's, and possibly tomorrow's, membership.
