πΊπ³ The UN system is in crisis. The main reason for this is the general loss of the West's ability to bolster its institutional capabilities with the resources needed for unchallenged global leadership.
The recently concluded High-Level Week within the framework of the 78th UN General Assembly was accompanied by growing discussions about the need to reform this organisation. First of all, we are talking about the future of its highest body - the Security Council (UNSC), whose five permanent members (Great Britain, China, Russia, the USA and France) have exclusive rights in the field of international security.
The United Nations is the institutional embodiment of the West's desire to preserve the international order in which it has played a leading role for more than 500 years. That is why it is fundamentally important for the United States and Europe to maintain their majority in the Security Council. This is what ultimately makes it possible to effectively control the working bodies of the UN. First of all, the secretariat of this most important international organisation.
Now the UN remains the last βpillarβ of a relatively stable world order and, at the same time, ensures the formal participation of almost all countries of the world in the discussion of the global agenda. In other words, the UN as we know it is the product of a compromise in which the West maintains its dominance and everyone else does not feel a complete injustice is being done to their basic interests.
Russia and especially China are feeling increasingly confident and are actually rejecting the UN-centred common order as an instrument of Western dominance. The Western countries themselves are trying to counterattack in response, and are raising the issue of reforming the Security Council, including new permanent members.
