What would a UN Charter review conference look like?

Recently, The @StimsonCenter set out to answer this – because the UN's future will not only depend on what reforms, but how they're negotiated.

From process design to avoiding traps, read the policy brief below!

[Article 109 @Article109]

Only 4 African countries signed the UN Charter in 1945.

Today, the continent boasts 54 UN members. But, international institutions remain largely the same.

@Article109 is working with partners from across Africa to advance #UNCharterReview & reform multilateralism.

Five countries can veto the world's peace.

They cut that deal in 1945 and promised a review within ten years. It's been 81.

A growing bloc of nations is finally moving to fix it, using a clause the five can't block 👇https://t.co/37BU3q3Ka6

While external powers increasingly compete for influence on the continent, African priorities must remain central to international partnerships and negotiations.

"Why do we need UN Charter review?"

That's what we asked participants at the #ACUNS conference.

#Kyrgyzstan was just elected to the @UN Security Council for 2027-28.

Following his country's election, President @sadyrzhaparovkg has stated that he'll use #UNGA81 to "propose substantive reforms to the #UNCharter".

#Article109 is one pathway to deliver Charter reform!

Renewing multilateralism is the new frontier of international relations.

Parliamentarians can lead the way in making sure its future is more effective, just, and representative.
