Effectiveness of Self-Legitimation Practices and Challenges in UN-AU Partnership

Self-legitimation efforts alone may not guarantee legitimacy, as genuine acceptance hinges on the actual implementation of resolutions and associated mechanisms. The General Assembly's new veto initiative has not yet resulted in any official position or resolution by 2025.

Within the UN-AU partnership, some nations wield more influence due to the Security Council's collective enterprise nature. Compromises made during resolution approval can lead to ambiguous wording, allowing member states to either legitimize or delegitimize the resolution based on their interpretations.

The ultimate legitimization of any mechanism will depend significantly on its implementation model. Further investigation is required to fully grasp these dynamics surrounding self-legitimation and the impact of implementation on perceived legitimacy.
