"For the time being, however, the Summit of the Future looks like a partial validation of the UN’s continued relevance in international affairs." "The UN is an organization in a holding pattern." cirsd.org/en/horizons/ho…

In this brief John Karlsrud & I are arguing that the multilateral system either needs to reform adapting to new realities or risk becoming deinstitutionalized with more ad hoc coalitions & club governance replacing international institutions.

A new handbook -- Assembly for Peace -- just launched. It offers the most in-depth look at what the UN General Assembly has done to prevent wars over the past 75 years. Hopefully some inspiration for innovation and action for the GA going forward. Check it out!

The devastating war in Gaza shouldn’t distract from the dangerous increase of settlers violence happening in the West Bank. Read our report.

Is multilateralism moribund? Not necessarily or not quite.... but at UN is not necessarily the most effective place to practice it. Interesting critique of the surreall run-up to the grandiosely named Summit of the Future cirsd.org/en/horizons/ho…

"God Save the King" is surely worse for Scotland, given that it includes a (now omitted) anti-Scottish verse. If England must have its own national anthem, it should be "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba.

True: Myanmar is speaking late at #UNGA because its pre-coup head of delegation still holds the Burmese seat, but the UN recognizes neither the military junta nor the opposition National Unity Government.
