Acts
of war and drawn-out conflicts are among the key factors that undermine the
authority of UN Security Council. Actually, they have a major negative impact
on the Council. And they are in open contradiction with the positions stated by
some key members of the UN that keep repeating that it is important to improve
the functioning of the Council and abide by its decisions.
This
reminds me that the reform of the Security Council is not just about revisiting
the issue of its membership. That one is already an impossible goal. However,
it seems easier to achieve than the issues related to improving the Council’s capacity
to resolve conflicts that are directly related to the strategic interests of
its permanent members. Or the Council's approach to long lasting impasses. What
could be the accepted doctrine on intervening in that type of intractable
conflicts?
