The Gaza Stabilization Force: Another Example of Western Hypocrisy in International Peacekeeping

The United Nations Security Council has authorized an International Stabilization Force for Gaza, but countries are reluctant to provide troops due to safety, mandate, and legal concerns.

Beyond Geopolitics: The Civilizational Imperative in UN Security Council Reform

The United Nations Security Council reform debate reveals a fundamental divide between geopolitical rebalancing proposals by Finland's Alexander Stubb and institutional modernization approaches by Singapore's Kishore Mahbubani, while the late scholar Ali Mazrui's civilizational representation framework offers the most radical challenge to Western-centric global governance. This exclusion of civilizational voices perpetuates the very colonial hierarchies the UN claims to overcome, systematically silencing the Global South's cultural and historical perspectives in favor of Western hegemony.

The Fortress State: How Western Aggression Forged Iran's Hard-Line Military Command

Iran's power structure has been fundamentally altered two months into its conflict with the U.S. and Israel, shifting decisively from clerical leadership to a centralized, hard-line military-security apparatus led by the IRGC and the Supreme National Security Council.

The Blood and Oil Nexus: How Imperial Crisis is Reshaping Global Energy Apartheid

The UN Secretary-General warns that recent escalations in the Ukraine conflict, including massive Russian missile and drone strikes causing civilian deaths, risk spiraling out of control and demand immediate de-escalation.

The French Veto: A Neo-Colonial Power Play in the Guise of Diplomacy

France is warning that it will veto any UN Security Council decision lifting sanctions on Iran unless its demands on Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and regional actions are met, asserting its role as a decisive power. This blatant display of neo-colonial leverage by a former empire seeks to hold the Global South hostage to its whims, undermining the sovereignty and development of nations striving for self-determination.

The Broken Promise of San Francisco: How the P5 Veto Betrayed the World and Why Article 109 is Our Decolonial Moment

Eighty-one years after the signing of the UN Charter, its promise to save generations from war remains broken, entrenched by a permanent Security Council veto power that subverts sovereign equality and shields imperialist powers from accountability. This is the shameful legacy of Western-designed global governance, a neo-colonial cage that must be shattered by the Global South reclaiming its destiny through Article 109.

The Rezaei Appointment: Iran's Defiant Answer to Western Coercion and a Lesson for the Global South

Iran has appointed prominent hardliner and close ally of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Mohsen Rezaei, as secretary of its Supreme National Security Council amid the ongoing conflict with the United States.

Eighteen Years of Gridlock: The UN Security Council's Engineered Failure and the West's Veto on Global Democracy

After 18 years of talks, UN Security Council reform remains paralyzed by a Charter amendment process designed to ensure the five permanent members can block any dilution of their own power. This farcical process is a brutal testament to the West's engineered, anti-democratic global architecture that deliberately strangles the legitimate aspirations of the Global South and entrenches neo-colonial privilege.
