Syria
has become the most visible and most dramatic example of the UN Security
Council´s failures. It patently shows that the Council´s arrangement is about
the Permanent Members ‘interests, and not about international peace and
security. And it is also a most shocking reminder that it is time to find a
better arrangement to protect civilians and civilisation. To accept without
profound indignation what is going on in Aleppo and elsewhere should be out of
question.
However,
it is not just about Syria or its vicinity. It is also the suffering in South
Sudan, Myanmar and some other parts of the world. And the extreme poverty many
face on a daily basis. All that is just a reminder of the incapacity of the
Council to properly address the major crises and challenges that put so many
lives at stake.
It
is also a call to think differently about the future and a new international
order.
