Abstract: The United Nations remains the only institution with the universality and breadth to address global problems. Given the scope, scale and nature of the challenges there is a need for a new reading of the United Nations Security Council in light of the changing global security. Using the theory of functionalism this study argues that like previous experiments at global institutional building, the Security Council will incrementally provide the platform for a radical reconsideration and reversal of global peace to make the United Nations decline into irrelevance and ultimate obscurity. That will happen not necessarily because the Council is a site of established global power inequalities but in response to the impotence of the veto powers in gatekeeping global stability for collective wellness.
