"In the Hot Seat: What can Germany Achieve in the Security Council?"

In the hot seat

Gowan, Richard

Germany’s time on the Security Council brings an opportunity for Berlin to demonstrate that it is ready to play at the highest level of global crisis management.

As disputes over crises like Iran and Syria loom large and tensions between the Council’s permanent members (P5) are rising, Germany’s time on the Security Council brings an opportunity for Berlin to demonstrate that it is ready to play at the highest level of global crisis management, use its position to broker deals between the P5, and act as an advocate for stability during these challenging times.
