The rise of multilateral institutions of global governance like the UN Security Council, the World Court, and the ICC over the last half-century reflects, in many ways, a never-before-seen willingness by the international community to unite in the name of advancing peace and other common interests.

In particular, do you think sovereignty concerns prevent these organizations from being as effective as they could be? Why or why not?
