The Security Council is the United Nations’ potent body with the power to pass binding decisions on member states. Despite this, the Council is criticized in terms of representation, performance, and procedural issues. As a result, there has been pushes for reform. In this regard, Africa presented the Ezulwini Consensus in 2005. Nonetheless, the proposal reaches nowhere demanding a study on the feasibility of its elements, where this book delves into in that this chapter lays the foundation for study. Africa’s unique relationship with the United Nations and the presence of a shared continental proposal underpin the research. The study employs qualitative methodological approach to address the issue. The study uses descriptive and explanatory research designs in the main with an element of exploratory research. Relying on both primary and secondary sources, the data analysis is done by the integrated approach of document, content, thematic, and discourse techniques.
