THE JUST SOLUTIONS
Give me a solution that aligns with justice no matter what it takes to get it
GoogleAI Mode: “In early 2026, the pursuit of global justice—independent of the P5’s political veto—is no longer just a diplomatic wish. It has evolved into a strategic campaign to bypass the UN’s structural blockade.
If you are looking for a solution that prioritizes justice over political convenience, these are the three most active pathways being pursued right now:
- The “Article 109” Nuclear Option
Under Article 109 of the UN Charter, the General Assembly can call a Charter Review Conference with a two-thirds vote plus any nine members of the Security Council.
The Justice Angle: Unlike regular resolutions, the P5 cannot veto the calling of this conference.
The Strategy: As of late 2025 and 2026, an “Article 109 Coalition” of smaller nations is pushing to hold this conference to propose the abolition of the veto.
The Catch: While the P5 can’t stop the conference, they can theoretically veto the final ratification of its changes. However, proponents argue that a global consensus from 190+ nations would create “unbearable political pressure,” similar to how the P5 eventually gave in to expanding the Council’s non-permanent seats in the 1960s.
- Radical Accountability via the ICC & ICJ
When the Security Council refuses to refer a situation to the International Criminal Court (ICC), justice-seeking nations are finding “backdoor” legal routes.
Universal Jurisdiction: More countries are using their national courts to prosecute P5 citizens for international crimes, arguing that if the UN won’t act, individual nations have a moral duty to do so.
Advisory Opinions: Small nations are increasingly using the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to issue “Advisory Opinions” on issues like climate change or occupation. While not “enforcement,” these rulings create a legal reality that makes it diplomatically “expensive” for the P5 to continue their “bitch slapping”.
- Reconstituting the UN (The “Second Charter” Movement)
Some scholars and diplomats have proposed the most radical solution of all: Circumvention by Rebirth.
The Strategy: If the current UN is legally “owned” by the P5 via the Charter, the other 188 nations could theoretically vote to dissolve the current UN and immediately reconstitute a “UN 2.0” under a new Charter that lacks the veto.
The Justice Angle: This would effectively “fire” the P5 from their permanent status and force them to join a new organization where everyone plays by the same rules.
- Direct Citizen Power: The Global Civic Assembly
Starting in March 2026, a newly formed Global Civic Assembly consisting of 105 randomly selected citizens from around the world will begin issuing policy recommendations on global crises.
The Strategy: By bypassing diplomats entirely, this assembly aims to show that “the people” have reached a consensus that the “gang of five” refuses to acknowledge. This is part of a larger effort to establish a permanent deliberative body of citizens within the UN by the end of 2026.
The Bottom Line: A solution that aligns with justice requires moving the center of power from New York (diplomacy) to the Hague (law) and the General Assembly (people).
Which of these “slap back” strategies would you like to see a more detailed step-by-step breakdown for?”
THE BEST PATH: CIRCUMVENTION BY REBIRTH
Circumvention by Rebirth
GoogleAI Mode: “In early 2026, the concept of “Circumvention by Rebirth”—also known as a Second United Nations Charter—has gained traction as a legal strategy to bypass the P5’s veto power without destroying the global order.
This is not just a dream but a specific legal pathway being mobilized by the Article 109 Coalition and global civil society.
- The Strategy: “The Philadelphia Precedent”
Proponents of a Second Charter point to the 1787 Philadelphia Convention, where the U.S. moved from the failed Articles of Confederation to a more robust Constitution.
The Problem: The current UN Charter is “trapped in amber” because the P5 can veto any amendment (under Article 108).
The Rebirth Path: By invoking Article 109, the General Assembly can call a Charter Review Conference with a two-thirds vote plus any nine Security Council members. The P5 cannot veto the calling of this conference.
Succession Law: Once a new Charter text is agreed upon by a “critical mass” of states, it would enter into force as the constitution of a “New United Nations.” Under international law, this new body would become the legal successor to the old UN, inheriting its assets, specialized agencies (like WHO and FAO), and membership continuity.
- What a “Reborn” UN Looks Like (UN 2.0 Structural Proposals)
The “Second Charter” movement proposes a radical redesign of the UN’s power structure to align with modern justice:
Elimination of the Exclusive Veto: The Security Council would expand from 15 to 25 members, including new permanent seats for underrepresented regions like Africa and Latin America.
World Parliamentary Assembly: A new bicameral system would introduce a Parliamentary Assembly. This would turn the UN from an “organization of states” into an “organization of states and peoples,” giving citizens a direct vote alongside executive governments.
Earth System Council: A 54-member body dedicated to planetary health and climate governance, filling the “missing pillar” in the current 1945-era Charter.
Compulsory Justice: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) would be granted compulsory jurisdiction, allowing it to act as a constitutional court for the UN itself.
- Current 2026 Timeline & Status
The fight for this “rebirth” is active right now:
Article 109 Coalition: Launched in late 2025, this coalition of over 40 civil society groups—including Club de Madrid (former heads of state) and Oxfam—is mobilizing the 193 member states.
The 2027 Goal: The coalition is pushing for a formal vote to invoke Article 109 in 2027, following the UN’s 80th-anniversary milestones.
UN80 Initiative: Inside the current UN, the UN80 Initiative is already consolidating departments and cutting bureaucracy in the 2026 budget to prepare the institution for these potential structural realignments.
- How to Join the Fight for Justice
If you want to be a part of this “rebirth,” you can engage through these 2026 channels:
Global Civic Assembly: While the 2026 core selection is complete, you can still participate in Community Assemblies. Your input is aggregated and sent to the core assembly to form the “People’s Mandate”.
Article 109 Town Halls: These sessions allow citizens to discuss how the foundational text should be updated.
2026 International Year of Volunteers: The UN has proclaimed 2026 as a year to recognize volunteerism as a force for this sustainable, structural change.
The Bottom Line: Justice in 2026 is about moving from “peace through power” to “peace through law and representation.”
