Turkey urges Security Council veto removal
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called for reform of the United Nations Security Council through the abolition of the veto power (the veto) and allowing all UN members to participate in decision-making. He pointed out that the current system is unfair and obstructs global stability and peace, especially in light of deadlocked decisions on critical issues such as Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran. Erdoğan also requested the expansion of the General Assembly’s powers and the appointment of council members for fixed terms through elections, aiming to ensure more equitable and transparent representation. Abolishing the veto requires an amendment to the UN Charter approved by a two-thirds majority of member states and ratified by the five permanent members, which faces challenges from countries like the United States and China, both of which hold significant veto powers. The use of the veto by Russia and the United States is among the most frequent instances of council objections, highlighting the importance of reforming the system to achieve fairer and more effective resolutions in addressing international crises.
