Abstract

Objective: Accordingly, the study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Security Council’s response to the Russo-Ukrainian War by examining its peacekeeping efficacy, decision-making processes, and enforcement of resolutions, thereby identifying strengths and weaknesses in these areas. Method: Anchored in a neorealist theoretical framework, the study adopted a qualitative design and employed content analysis to examine relevant United Nations documents and resolutions. Results: It found that the veto power of permanent members, especially when used by an involved party, paralyzed the Council’s decision-making and left its resolutions largely symbolic and unenforceable. The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) norm was effectively sidelined, as the Council failed to invoke it despite evidence of mass atrocities. Consequently, the Security Council proved ineffective in enforcing compliance with its decisions or altering the course of the conflict, demonstrating a significant gap between its mandate to maintain peace and its performance in this war. Novelty: Finally, it recommended curtailing the use of the veto in mass-atrocity situations, urging that permanent members abstain from vetoing in such cases to prevent Council paralysis and enable timely action.

Abstract

This paper takes a critical look at the February/ March 2019 General Elections in Nigeria. Our analysis is predicated on the conceptual relationship between elections and Democratic Development. We evaluated the conduct of the 2019 General Elections and noted that the elections were below the acceptable standards of a democratic election, wherefore the wide protestations that continually trialed the results. The paper also noted that the elections have once again brought to the fore some of the challenges threatening the survival of democracy in Nigeria. Finally, the paper argued that these challenges need to be addressed if the nation’s effort at democratic development is expected to produce meaningful results, particularly now as the nation is getting ready for another round of General Election in 2023.
