Kremlin weighs in on talk of UN Security Council reforms
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov comments on Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s call to abolish permanent membership and the veto system.
On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to questions regarding Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's proposal to abolish the UN Security Council's permanent membership and veto system. Erdogan has previously criticized the council, asserting that the five permanent members - Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States - do not accurately represent the international community and hinder rapid decision-making.
Peskov affirmed that Russia supports the expansion of the Security Council's permanent membership, but maintains that the existing veto system remains crucial to the UN's structure. He stated that the institution of permanent members, along with the right of veto, are integral components of the United Nations' framework.
