Bahrain delivers statement on behalf of GCC states on use of the veto

Bahrain ·

Jamal Fares Al Ruwaie, Bahrain's permanent representative to the UN in New York, delivered the statement on behalf of GCC states. It calls for a stronger role for the UN General Assembly in discussing use of the veto, and for transparency and accountability, to support reform of the Security Council.

The five permanent members of the UN Security Council (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) hold veto power over substantive resolutions, a power that is often debated in UN discussions of Council reform.
