A closer look at “UN's Peace Mandate Undermined by Great Power Rivalries, Expert Says”, exactly as the source publishes it. In an interview with Rochelle Ferguson Bouyahi, Fanny Badache, a researcher at Sciences Po and lecturer at the University of Geneva, discusses the United Nations' struggle to fulfill its mandate of maintaining international peace and security. Badache argues that the UN's effectiveness ultimately depends on the cooperation of sovereign states, particularly the five permanent members of the Security Council. As the international order becomes increasingly fragmented and volatile, these powers often prioritize their own interests, hindering the UN's ability to intervene in conflicts.
Badache notes that the current level of violence and conflict is unprecedented in recent decades, and the UN has been unable to bring peace to many of these situations. She emphasizes that when the permanent members are divided or uncooperative, the UN's hands are tied, leading to paralysis in the face of crises.
