Part A traces the road to the Charter \u2014 the functional unions of 1865 and 1874, The Hague in 1899, the League, the Declaration of 1942, San Francisco \u2014 and then the four purposes and the five principles; Part B works through the six principal organs, giving the Assembly, the Security Council and the veto their due, and the International Court of Justice at length: consent, not compulsion; Namibia and Kulbhushan Jadhav; the limits. Part C is the record \u2014 collective security and the exact point at which it breaks, Palestine through to the Gulf War, the MDGs to the SDGs, and the failures to protect, from Rwanda and Srebrenica to Gaza. Part D is reform: Falk, Barnett, Sachs, Weiss, Ikenberry and Joel Ng on the need; Ezulwini, the G4, L69, CARICOM and Uniting for Consensus on the models; Guterres&#8217;s three pillars and Annan&#8217;s two routes to a twenty-four-member Council on what has actually been attempted. Part E is India&#8217;s case for the permanent seat \u2014 the objective basis, the points in its favour, the China factor, the amendment barrier, and Pant, Shyam Saran, Tharoor, Bhagavan and Aarshi Tirkey on why the seat has not come.
