Briefings

A researcher from Sciences Po and the University of Geneva, Fanny Badache, argues that the UN's inability to maintain peace stems from the Security Council's reliance on five powerful permanent members who are often divided. This fragmentation causes collective security mechanisms to produce paralysis rather than enable effective collective action. The article highlights the tension between the UN's mandate for international peace and security and the practical constraints imposed by state sovereignty and power dynamics.

Key points

• Fanny Badache, a researcher at Sciences Po and lecturer at the University of Geneva, is the primary author of the briefing.
