The membership of China and Russia in the UN Security Council is, according to the American politician, a “relic” of the past, because both countries ignore international law.
Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the current state of the UN is a mockery of what was originally intended. In his opinion, this organization is “fundamentally broken.” He said this during a visit to Kyiv, Radio Liberty reports.
“I’m not optimistic about the UN. It may have made sense when it was created, but we’ve seen Iranians running the UN Human Rights Council. We’ve seen Venezuelans in charge of human rights at the UN with Iranians running women’s as property … We see this over and over again. Today, the UN will not face the fact that the Chinese Communist Party is holding a million Muslims in concentration camps in the western part of the country. The organization is fundamentally broken,” Pompeo said.
According to him, the membership of China and Russia in the UN Security Council is a “relic” of the past, because both countries neglect international law.
“This is a relic of the times when the Chinese Communist Party and Russia occupied two seats in the UN Security Council and are two countries that do not want to comply with international law. It is unlikely that they will comply. I think I think this is a mockery of what was. If you look at The UN mission, when it was created, was based on very noble ideas contained in the UN Charter. However, today we can see that this institution is broken,” said former US Secretary of State, added that he has a theory on how to move forward.
It will be remembered that on April 1, a month-long period began, during which Russia, which is also a permanent member of this body, will lead the UN Security Council. In total, the UN Security Council includes 15 countries, of which five are permanent (Russia, China, USA, Great Britain and France).
