The institutional procedures for the UN's decision-making on issues
of global peace and security, first and foremost the Security
Council (SC), were conceived with the objective of enabling a swift
but internationally coordinated response to irregular situations of
crises. Today, however, the UN is constantly involved in situations
of conflict and has expanded its range of activities. This book
offers a concrete and practically applicable answer to the question
of how to reform the UN and increase the legitimacy of the UN's
decision-making procedures on issues of global peace and security.
In order to provide this answer, it connects the minutia of
institutional design with the abstract principals of democratic
theory in a systematic and reproducible method, thereby enabling a
clear normative evaluation of even the smallest technical detail of
reform. This evaluation demonstrates that there is a range of
feasible proposals for reform that could improve the SC's
accountability both to the General Assembly and to the general
public, that could increase the opportunities for effective input
from the UN membership and NGOs. This book will be of interest to
students and scholars of the United Nations, International
Organizations and regional governance.
