80 years after its adoption, the UN Charter remains a cornerstone of international law. This session explores which legal frameworks continue to exhibit high communality — broadly shared acceptance among states — and sufficient specificity to guide cooperation amid geopolitical shifts. It also discusses prospects for UN Security Council reform and how Europe can strategically advance multilateral governance through initiatives such as the Pact for the Future.
