Russia and the United States voted against the abolition of the veto in the UN security Council called for representatives of London and Paris, according to TASS. The veto allows the members of the UN Security Council to block decision-making.
“Unacceptable to us any ideas that lead to infringing upon the prerogatives of the current permanent members of the Security Council, including the veto. It should be remembered that the institution is an important factor that encourages Council members to search for balanced solutions,” said Deputy permanent representative to the UN Vladimir Safronkov.
He added that the attack on the right of cancellation of the decision of the UN security Council is wrong both from a historical and political point of view. So the decisions of the permanent members of the Security Council are not subject to audit.
The words of the Russian representative supported zampolpreda US, stressing that Washington continued to act “against any change in veto”, and Chinese Ambassador Liu Jieyi urged not to impose “immature proposals” on the reform of the UN security Council.
