OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

UN Security Council reform has been discussed for three decades but little has been done to make this principal organ more efficient and representative. The process has focused primarily on enlarging the membership and which countries can become new permanent members. Dr. Vesselin Popovski criticizes such an approach and recommends to aspiring members to abandon the entire idea of permanent membership and instead lead the UN General Assembly towards removing the major ‘cancer’ in the UN body – the veto power.
