  "account": "The United Kingdom has joined a growing coalition of nations backing a call to restrict UN Security Council vetoes on matters involving mass atrocities, such as genocide. This initiative, initially proposed by Mexico and France in 2015, now boasts the support of 128 countries, just one short of the two-thirds majority needed to become operative. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot and Mexican counterpart Roberto Velasco unveiled the proposal jointly, emphasizing the nations' commitment to enabling the Security Council to effectively maintain international peace and security. Despite the resolution being non-binding, the supporters hope it will make it more challenging for any permanent member to employ its veto in cases of critical emergencies.",
