“In global affairs, the ongoing debate around UN reform has brought renewed attention to the question of veto powers on the Security Council. With calls for African states to be granted permanent seats, there’s growing discourse over whether these nations should also have veto power—a privilege currently reserved for just five global powers. In his thought-provoking piece, RW Johnson delves into this issue, questioning whether Africa’s geopolitical standing justifies such demands.
