On November 5th, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., we will host “The Veto”: Film Screening & Dialogue on the occasion of the IBA conference. We will be presenting The Veto by Tim Slade, a powerful documentary that examines the United Nations Security Council’s use of the veto power, its historical impact, and the urgent conversations around reform. Through compelling interviews, historical footage, and expert analysis, The Veto explores how this mechanism has shaped international responses to crises, raising critical questions about justice, accountability, and the future of global governance.
The event will be held on the site of St. Paul’s, Bloor Street, an iconic heritage monument at 227 Bloor Street East in Toronto. Completed in 1913 by architect E. J. Lennox in the Gothic Revival style, it is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural and architectural significance. The venue’s historic character and cultural prominence will provide a distinguished setting that enhances the significance of this evening’s dialogue.
