Ingel’s Theory on International Fairness Based on Simplified Voting System of UNSC

According to the Charter of the United Nations, the United Nations Security Council adopts a “collective security system” authorized voting system, which has prominent drawbacks such as difficulty in fully reflecting the will of all Member States. Combining interdisciplinary, qualitative and quantitative research methods, in response to the dilemma of Security Council voting reform, this article suggests retaining the Security Council voting system and recommending a simplified model of “basic and weighted half” for voting allocation. This model not only inherits the authorized voting system of the collective security system, but also follows the allocation system of sovereignty equality in the Charter. It can also achieve the “draw on the advantages and avoid disadvantages” of Member States towards international development, promote the transformation of “absolute equality” of overall consistency into “real fairness” relative to individual contributions, and further promote the development of international law in the United Nations voting system.

Abstract

According to the Charter of the United Nations, the United Nations Security Council adopts a “collective security system” authorized voting system, which has prominent drawbacks such as difficulty in fully reflecting the will of all Member States. Combining interdisciplinary, qualitative and quantitative research methods, in response to the dilemma of Security Council voting reform, this article suggests retaining the Security Council voting system and recommending a simplified model of “basic and weighted half” for voting allocation. This model not only inherits the authorized voting system of the collective security system, but also follows the allocation system of sovereignty equality in the Charter. It can also achieve the “draw on the advantages and avoid disadvantages” of Member States towards international development, promote the transformation of “absolute equality” of overall consistency into “real fairness” relative to individual contributions, and further promote the development of international law in the United Nations voting system.
