Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has raised questions about the role and future of the United Nations. Established in the aftermath of World War II with a fundamental goal of securing peace, the UN now faces yet another conflict that continues to undermine public perceptions about its authority and legitimacy and challenge fundamental assumptions about the global order. How strong is the UN’s moral voice in the face of this crisis? Can the UN continue to be a focal point for rallying international public opinion and effective humanitarian response?
Join the Stimson Center for a panel discussion on the fundamental and far-reaching challenges the Ukraine crisis presents for the UN and what that might portend for global norms and order.
