Calls for Papers

Call for Abstracts – Reforms at United Nations: This book attempts to address much-needed reforms at the United Nations, more particularly Security Council in a global hegemonic world. In 2022, the United Nations completed 75 years and the permanent membership remains the same as it was in 1945. The book seeks to answer questions such as veto powers, wars, human rights violations, voices of small States, climate change, migration and the role the United Nations as a world body can play. Apart from it, the book would also include issues on the global south, imperialism and the United Nations. For more information, click here.
