Following the conclusion of the 2016 United Nations General Assembly, the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) is hosting a discussion on the challenges that the UN Security Council faces in preventing, managing, and ending violent conflicts through military interventions. The panel will also explore suggestions to improve the Security Council\u2019s effectiveness in tackling contemporary security challenges.

This special event also serves as a launch of the new book, Perilous Interventions: The Security Council and the Politics of Chaos (Harper Colins, 2016), by Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri. The book provides a sharp analysis of the recent history of UN and non-UN military interventions and calls for reforms to Security Council working methods in the maintenance of international peace and security. Puri, who served as India\u2019s envoy to the UN from 2009 to 2013, reveals the Council\u2019s decision-making processes and members\u2019 general perspectives on intervention. Perilous Interventions shows how some recent instances of the use of force didn\u2019t go as planned, citing examples such as Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Crimea, as well as India\u2019s intervention in Sri Lanka in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

A light breakfast will be provided. Immediately after the program, guests are welcome to attend a book signing with the author.<\/p>\n
