Opinions

1. Zelenskiy: “Where is this security that the Security Council must guarantee? Where is the world for which the UN was created to guarantee? It is obvious that the key institution of the world, which should ensure the coercion of any aggressors to peace, simply cannot work effectively, “the head of state said. Zelensky recalled Article 1 of Chapter 1 of the UN Charter on the organization’s goal of maintaining peace and stressed that the Charter is currently violated in the first article. “[Russia] is turning the veto in the UN Security Council into a right of death. It undermines the whole architecture of global security, allows evil to go unpunished and spread around the world. If this continues, the end will be that each country can only rely on the strength of its weapons to ensure its security, and not on international law and international institutions. The UN can simply be closed, “Volodymyr Zelenskyi said. He called for reform of the UN system and stressed that the aggressor should be brought to peace, and the Russian military and those who gave them orders should be brought to justice. According to him, the UN can now either remove the aggressor country from blocking decisions in the Security Council, or show how to reform the institution, or dissolve itself. (Source: NV).
