Pakistan pushes for UNSC veto reform to end its paralysis

Pakistan ·

Pakistan told the UN General Assembly on Monday that Security Council reform must tackle the veto held by the five permanent members: the US, Russia, China, France and the UK. It said the misuse of the veto undermines the council's work and that its institutional paralysis must end.

The UN Security Council has 15 members, five of them permanent (the US, Russia, China, France and the UK) with veto power over substantive decisions. Reform of the council has been debated for decades, with critics arguing its structure no longer reflects the current world.
