    1. 1949 Geneva Conventions

      Geneva Conventions --- Adrienn, it's very important not to bundle the 1951 Convention on Refugees with the 1949 Geneva Conventions on IHL. It is however true, as JM notes, that there have been many discussions over the years about revising them all. Similar discussions address the inadequacies of the UN Charter, and I see that there are quite a lot of social media posts, including by professorial types, calling for (for example) Russia to be deprived of its Security Council veto power. It ain't going to happen, at least not in ways comprehended by the regular treaty amendment processes in play.
