He outlines how the General Assembly can bypass the American veto in the Security Council by using Uniting for Peace to form a ‘coalition of the willing’ capable of delivering humanitarian aid, enforcing a no-fly zone and protecting civilians.

Mark Seddon has extensive experience as an insider: he was a speechwriter for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, media adviser to former UNGA President María Fernanda Espinosa and was Al-Jazeera’s first UN correspondent.
