Addressing Delivery Failures in Global Security Governance

The paper outlines two primary solutions to tackle delivery failures in global security governance. One solution suggests creating a new organization with a broader mandate and enhanced structure, possibly integrating regional security considerations. The second approach involves modifying the existing UN framework and mandate to be more effective in addressing contemporary challenges.

A major obstacle to reform is the likely resistance from Security Council members who may prefer to maintain the current status quo. However, the analysis indicates that member states are improbable to dismantle the United Nations unless a significant, disruptive event, comparable to a world war, occurs. The conclusion is that the UN is undergoing a process of adaptation.
