‘Grasping the Nettle of the UN Security Council Reform: The Uniting for Consensus Proposal’ – SIOI/IAI paper

Why do we need a reform of the United Nations Security Council?
The global security landscape has gone through a process of radical change in the last few decades, determined by a number of interconnected challenges. Social inequalities exacerbated by globalization, climate change, violent conflicts originating at national and regional level with wider geopolitical implications, and cyber crime – just to name a few – have produced new threats to international peace and security, which have been spreading unevenly across regions and countries. Most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian aggression on Ukraine have added to the mix as triggering factors of instability and uncertainty.

‘Grasping the Nettle of the UN Security Council Reform: The Uniting for Consensus Proposal’, the Paper elaborated by experts from Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) and SIOI, is now available on OSORIN website at
