The UN Security Council Veto: A Tool for Injustice? | John Philpot

Is the international system created after WWII now broken? Israel's devastating war in Gaza, marked by accusations of genocide and widespread war crimes, has pushed the concept of a "rules-based order" to its breaking point. With the United States repeatedly using its veto power at the UN Security Council to shield its ally, many are asking if international law is truly dead.
In this critical episode of Irantalks, we are joined by renowned expert John Philpot to dissect the collapse of global norms. We explore the blatant impunity granted to Israel, the selective application of justice by Western powers, and the growing disillusionment across the Global South. Has the United Nations failed in its core mission to prevent catastrophe and protect human rights?
