Multilateralism at a Crossroads
During a period of increased global tensions over the future direction of multilateralism, the UN Security Council faces significant questions over its continued legitimacy. Consequently, demands for formal reform initiatives have grown, challenging the unequal distribution of power within the Council and the continued influence of colonial legacies. Yet despite these claims, it is still commonly assumed that the UK must work to retain all the ke…
Failure through Consensus Building
The status and validity of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) norm have increasingly come under intense scrutiny given the significant outbreaks and scale of atrocity crimes continuing to occur globally. Yet despite claims of the norm’s inevitable death, there remains broad rhetorical support, with the R2P still frequently invoked by states. In seeking to explain this puzzle, the article focuses on the role of consensus-building practices in sha…
Informal Practice as a Driver of Change
In recent years the UN Security Council has come under increasing criticism, particularly in light of its failure to address the most pressing threats to international peace and security. As tensions between major powers have grown the relative paralysis of the Council has led to growing calls for significant change and reform. Yet much of the discourse surrounding the Council’s current status has predominantly focused on the overall legitimacy o…
Informal Practices and the Future of Mass Atrocity Prevention
The UN Security Council is experiencing a period of increased tension between member states, in part caused by the ratcheting up of major power disputes. In this context, one can highlight a range of informal practices that have begun to gain greater traction in response to the ongoing challenge of supporting mass atrocity crime prevention. Most notably, the use of informal dialogue forums such as Arria formula meetings which are increasingly uti…
The R2P and atrocity prevention
The significant link between human rights violations and the eventual outbreak of atrocity crimes has been widely promoted across the UN system. However, the question of how the connection between the R2P norm and human rights plays out in the actual practices and debates of the UN Security Council has been relatively under explored. In response, the article builds on constructivist research into norm robustness in order to trace how the R2P's sh…
The United Kingdom’s special responsibilities at the United Nations
In a 2017 speech to the United Nations, Theresa May referred to the United Kingdom’s ‘special responsibilities’. This article examines how the United Kingdom can properly discharge those responsibilities at the United Nations. We offer an innovative analytical framework that merges English School theory of international society with diplomatic practice theory, and find that there are limits to the claim that the United Kingdom compensates for its…
Brexit and the UN Security Council
The United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union has ramifications beyond the UK and the EU. This article analyses the impact of the Brexit referendum on the UK's political capital in the United Nations Security Council; a dimension of Brexit that has received little attention thus far. Drawing on extensive elite interviews we show that the UK has considerable political capital in the Council, where it is seen as one of the most effectiv…
Assessing the Responsibility to Protect’s motivational capacity
While the concept of humanity is most often referred to as the moral source of the Responsibility to Protect’s motivational capacity, humanity’s normative status and value has continued to be left assumed and/or unexplored. Consequently, there remains a considerable lack of analysis into humanity’s role in supposedly helping to both locate moral harm and subsequently provide a motivational cause that can drive protection practices in support of t…
