[WebDebate] The UN beyond the West: How do countries from the Global South make their mark?
 
Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to join us on Tuesday, 3rd March, at 12:00 UTC (13:00 CET) for our next WebDebate, when we will focus on the impact that countries from the Global South have had on the United Nations.

As 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, we continue our theme of exploring key topics related to the past, present, and future of the organisation. 

Since the inception of the UN, membership of the organisation has grown steadily. In particular, the membership of states from the Global South has impacted the structure and functioning of the organisation.

In this WebDebate we explore specific diplomatic approaches led by countries from the Global South, shifts within the UN system, calls for UN reform, and the impact that countries from the Global South have had on the organisation.
