On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
