Description: |
Join prominent experts for a discussion of Professor Trahan's new book, Existing Legal Limits to Security Council Veto Power in the Face of Atrocity Crimes. In the book, she argues that the way the veto power of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council is being used--especially in the face of ongoing genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity--is out of line with key obligations of existing international law. Join this timely and provocative discussion of a profoundly bold and innovative book that stands poised potentially to offer a solution to one of the UN's most pressing conundrums: political blockage at its highest level, on the UN Security Council.
This event is co-sponsored by the Oxford Programme on International Peace & Security at the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University. |
