A participatory dialogue on three proposals to limit the use of the veto by UN Security Council P5 members.

  • An International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on existing legal limits to the veto under international law;
  • An International Court of Justice case on obligations to implement Chapter 6 of the UN Charter on the Pacific Settlement of Disputes mandating a party to a dispute to abstain from Security Council votes;
  • Establishing a new mechanism for veto review by the elected members of the Security Council.
