The Arab Spring Shockwave: Military intervention in Libya and the growing pushback against unilateral regime change.
From BRIC to BRICS: South Africa’s entry by consensus of all four founding members and its official debut at the April 2011 Sanya Summit.
The UNSC Power Play: A rare historical moment where all five member states simultaneously held seats on the UN Security Council to challenge Western interventionism.
