'Many people who have watched the UN for years agree that the UN Security Council looks impotent in this moment, with the world watching' | Analysis by Ashley Semler
"You need to act immediately," Zelensky implored the UN Security Council during a live-streamed address April 6 to its members.He begged them to do something to stop the war in his country, criticizing the Security Council's inaction directly. And he called out the elephant in the room: Russia, one of the five permanent members of the Council, whose status gives it the ability to veto any action it disagrees with.
Zelensky's compelling question: What is the UN for?The UN charter also makes it impossible to do another thing Zelensky suggested: kick Russia off the Security Council, because the country can veto that too.Over the years, countries and diplomats have suggested to reform the council by adding more permanent members to make it better reflect the contemporary geopolitical reality, or even try to take away the veto power. But no country wants to dilute its power.
