Challenging the UN Security Council Veto in the Face of Atrocity Crimes
February 22 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
On 22nd February, 12:35-13:45, UNA Warwick are holding a meeting online and at the Leamington Spa Baptist Church, Chandos Street, Leamington Spa, CV32 4RN, on Challenging the UN Security Council Veto in the Face of Atrocity Crimes. The speaker is Professor Jennifer Trahan (of New York University’s Center for Global Affairs, author of Legal Limits to Security Council Veto Power in the Face of Atrocity Crimes). The UN Security Council’s veto power has repeatedly blocked action, even in response to genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, leading to devastating loss of life and a failure of global accountability. Professor Trahan will explore the history and evolution of the veto (including showing the short film The Veto). The zoom link is
