The Doctrine of Lapse: Lessons From the UN Era | Part 2 |

The Raisina Podcast

Having addressed the criticism of past failings and yet acknowledging the indispensability of the institution, how can the UN in the foreseeable future maintain peace in the world order?
“For 70 years The United Nations knew how to safeguard peace but not to broker peace. That's a big big difference and there is a misinterpretation. Not of the role but of the capabilities of the United Nations to be on the negotiating table of how to make peace between enemies.”, says Daniel Carmon, Former Ambassador of Israel to India
Join us in the second part of this two-part Raisina Dialogue podcast episode, where we analyse the function of the United Nations, the overarching issue of disproportionate group dynamics among member states and weakening sovereignty. In a world where powerful countries are increasingly driven by domestic politics, multilateral organizations need to reinvent themselves.
