One Theme to Unite Them All? Rhetorical Signals and Unanimity in the UN Security Council
s Extant research agrees that unanimity is vital to the functioning and legitimacy of many international organizations (IOs), particularly the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Thus, they matter greatly for the functioning and coordination of global (security) governance. …

First, despite the well-known fear of some scholars, R2P is still frequently invoked…
