UN-ifying the world? Ft. Jan Eliasson, Deputy UN Secretary-General
The UN was created in the wake of
World War II as a system to promote
peace and avoid war. But with conflicts proliferating and the
UN Security Council frequently deadlocked by the veto system, its legitimacy and usefulness have been brought into question. Can the UN evolve to meet modern security challenges, and does it have the capacity to ensure the respect of international law? Oksana is joined by
Jan Eliasson, the
Deputy Secretary-General of the
United Nations, to analyse these issues.
