At this simulation, we would like to test scenarios for the application of the ‘Veto Initiative’ and its implications for the possibility of action in the UNGA and the UNSC, as well as the relationship between the two bodies. Our case study is Myanmar.
Relevant participants in the simulation include all 15 members of the UNSC; all 10 ASEAN members; Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Canada, Costa Rica, Egypt, Gambia, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Liechtenstein, Mali, New Zealand, North Korea, Norway, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, and Ukraine; and the (non-voting) EU representative.
The Permanent Mission of Liechtenstein to the United Nations, which proposed the Veto Initiative, will join us in Princeton for the simulation.
There will be a preparatory meeting on Friday, April 14, 10:30-11:30am (with an alternative option for those who are not available on that date).
