In 2008, I gave a lecture at the ANU on my recently published proposal for radical reform of the UN Security Council in the year 2020 or so.
The proposal is for representation on the UNSC by ten world Regions, including Latin America, rather than by countries.
There would be no veto power.
Implementation of the plan would require revising the Charter of the United Nations.
This lecture will summarize the REP plan for UNSC reform, claim that current efforts to reform the Council are doomed to failure, argue that the REP has stood the test of time, and ask whether Latin American countries in particular are willing to push for radical change.
