A paralyzed Council

The UN Security Council has finally “unanimously” adopted another Resolution. On 28 April. Unfortunately, it is not on Ukraine, not even on Syria. It might however show that the Council is still alive.

The Resolution 2151 (2014) is on Security Sector Reform, the role of the UN in its implementation and the need for national ownership of the process.

I read it. It adds nothing to the debate. It states in grandiose terms what the UN missions have been performing for the last eight years or so.

Is the Security Council becoming a bit like a debating society?
