The United States suddenly wants to change to the United Nations Security Council for one vote veto
Author:Global Times Time:2022.09.19
The 77th UN General Assembly opened at the United Nations headquarters in New York, USA on September 13th. Leaders and diplomats in various countries in the world are about to participate in the annual UN General Assembly and other activities. At this moment, the United States, which is unlikely to make such voices, has recently asked the United Nations to "reform".
On September 18, local time, AFP wrote that at this time, the United States suddenly began to talk about the so -called "United Nations reform", and its goal was to aim at Russia. After the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine at the beginning of this year, the United States tried to "do things" in the United Nations to allow Russia to pay the price for "invasion of Ukraine". However, because Russia has a vote veto in the United Nations Security Council, it makes it difficult for the United States to work and be very dissatisfied.
The nearest speeches of the U.S. Permanent Representative of the United Nations implied that Russia has repeatedly used veto "lack of credibility and legitimacy."
From "expel Russia's‘ five constants ’” to “Fighting Russia’ s ‘Security Council’ ”, to proposing a proposal to“ restrict ‘Five Chang’ one votes ”, these sounds have emerged endlessly for a period of time. However, as the South African Foreign Minister is bluntly, just because Russia has criticized the veto system to be hypocritical. Previously, some people hoped that the voice of the UN General Assembly had never been supported. Now the United States has appeared in the "UN reform". It's completely deceived.

Agence France -Presse pointed out in its article at the beginning of its article that the reason why the United States was deliberate at "United Nations reform" was all in Russia and Ukraine, which broke out at the beginning of the year. The United States and other Western powers have been working hard to study and formulate a set of "game rules", and want to make Russia with a vote veto no longer obstruct the results of the Security Council's agenda they want to see.
According to the article, after February this year, the United States and Western countries believe that the Security Council has become "incompetent". Although diplomats in these countries have prepared to condemn the statement in advance, they still have not stopped the occurrence of Russia and Ukraine. According to the regulations, the five permanent members of the Security Council (China, the United States, Britain, and France) have a veto of the draft resolution of the Security Council.
On February 25, local time, the Security Council voted on the draft resolution of the Ukrainian situation submitted by the United States and Albania, of which 11 votes agreed, 1 voting rejected, and 3 votes abstracted. Due to Russia's veto votes, the draft failed. China, India, the UAE and other countries voted for abstaining votes. In fact, the Security Council did not pass the statement involving Russia and Ukraine for the first time until May, and it did not use the words "invasion" that these countries wanted to see.
In a recent speech, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US resident Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has expanded the number of 15 members of the Security Council.

"We should not maintain unsustainable and outdated status. On the contrary, we must show the willingness of flexibility and compromise to enhance credibility and legitimacy." Thomas Greenfield also said A permanent member of the country "has a special responsibility of maintaining standards", and she also promised that the United States will only exercise its veto in "rare and very good situations".
"If any permanent member of the country exercises its veto to maintain her" aggression ", she will lose moral authority and should be responsible for this." She said with some point. However, just here, AFP mentioned a well -known event in the world: During the office of Bush, the United States had launched a war invading Iraq regardless of the Security Council's resolution.
Thomas Greenfield admits that the United States has not met the standards set by herself, but she has said that since 2009, it has only used four veto in the United States since 2009, while Russia has used 26 Second-rate.

To this end, the United States and Western countries have already issued difficulties to Russia on the UN issue many times, such as:
On March 1, according to Agence France -Presse, an anonymous British Prime Minister spokesman said that in view of Russia's "invasion" Ukraine, the British government held an open attitude towards the National Security Council of the United Nations Security Council who canceled Russia.
At a meeting on April 19, a proposal on restricting the unreasonable rejection of the United Nations Security Council was supported by 57 countries, including the United States. At that time, the United States was the only "five constant" country that publicly supported the proposal.
On April 5th and June 28th, the Ukrainian President Zelezki called on the Security Council to expel Russia. However, for his remarks, the United Nations United Nations representative Thomas Greenfield said: "The Security Council is the product of the United Nations after World War II. They (Russia) is a member of the Security Council. This is the fact that we cannot change this fact."
South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has been seeking the right of representatives in the Security Council. She said that it is hypocritical to criticize the veto system alone because of Russia.
"Some of us have always called on the UN General Assembly to have a greater right to speak, but have never been supported, but suddenly, today?" Pander said disappointed: "This is where international law began to lose meaning. For some reasons, we think this is a deception. "A UN issue of the Internet" International Crisis Group ", a non -profit organization, believes that the United States does believe that the United States does have" functional disorders "of the Security Council's" functional disorders "of the Security Council. I feel worried. Gao En said that the Biden government clearly called for "reform", but he added: "My feeling is that Americans have no clear willingness in this matter. They do this for testing the water ... This may fail . "In addition, John Herbst, who was currently a US diplomat and currently working in the Atlantic Council, also believed:" The prospect of reality is very, very slim. "
Agence France -Presse pointed out that the current arrangements of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council reflect the power pattern after the end of World War II, and Russia's identity is also very "special". Ukraine recently proposed an argument that one of the permanent members of the country belonged to the previous Soviet Union, not the later Russia.
The biggest motivation to promote the reform of the Security Council appeared on the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II. At that time, Brazil, Germany, India, and Japan jointly launched an application for permanent members. However, the United States, who had been "reform", only supported Japanese and India at that time, and did not work in order to promote these countries to make any efforts to promote these countries.

Compared with the United States, China has also explained China's position on the United Nations reform. On August 11, Geng Shuang, deputy representative of the United Nations in the United Nations, spoke at the Alia Model Conference of the Security Council. Very important.
Unfortunately, in practice, individual writers often force voting under the circumstances of still existing major differences, forcing other members to vote for opposition votes, including forcing the permanent members to use veto power to deliberately create division and confrontation. Some unprofessional and unsatisfactory practices are not good for maintaining the unity of the Security Council and ensuring the performance of the Security Council. Over the years, most of the issues of issues have been controlled by a few members for a long time, and China has suggested that systematically adjusting the nation's arrangement.
In August this year, China served as the rotating chairman of the UN Security Council in August. On August 31, local time, China completed the rotating chairman of the Security Council. On the same day, Zhang Jun, a permanent representative of the United Nations in the United Nations, said in an interview that the power of the Security Council is in the final analysis of the support and understanding of major member states. In the face of many challenges, China has no choice. The core value of the purpose and principle, vigorously advocate dialogue, enhance understanding and trust, maintain fairness and justice, and cooperate with various challenges. He said that as a permanent member of the Security Council, China will continue to fulfill its responsibilities and obligations and play an active and constructive role.
