Turkey Urges Veto Lift in UN Security Council
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called for reform of the United Nations Security Council by abolishing the veto right and transitioning to a system that includes all UN members. He considered the current system unfair and said it hinders the achievement of global stability and peace. Similarly, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez demanded reforms that ensure fair representation and the end of the veto right, emphasizing that a country's power should not simultaneously make it a judge and a defendant. These calls come amid a deadlock in the Security Council on many issues, including the Gaza and Ukraine wars, where the five permanent members have repeatedly used the veto. President Erdoğan proposed amending the UN Charter under Article 108, which requires the approval of two-thirds of the member states. However, significant challenges remain from the United States and China, who seek to preserve their privileges related to the veto right.
