UN Security Council


 

  1. Should the United Nations Security Council 

expand its permanent membership?


Discuss whether additional countries (e.g., India, 

Brazil, Germany, Japan) should be granted permanent 

seats and veto power.


  1. Is the veto power of the five permanent members 

(P5) outdated and undemocratic?


Debate whether the veto system should be reformed or 

abolished to make decision-making more equitable.


  1. Can the United Nations Security Council effectively 

maintain global peace and security in its current 

form?


Explore its successes and failures in addressing conflicts 

and crises, and whether reforms are needed.


  1. Does the Security Council represent the power 

dynamics of today's world?


Argue whether the current composition reflects the 

geopolitical realities of the 21st century or is a relic 

of the post-WWII era.


  1. Should regional organizations (e.g., African Union, 

EU) have a greater role in Security Council 

decision-making?


Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of granting regional 

organizations a formal role in Security Council proceedings.


  1. Has the Security Council been effective in addressing 

contemporary security challenges such as terrorism, 

climate change, and cyber threats?
