Calls to reform UN Security Council after US vetoes Gaza ceasefire | Al Jazeera Newsfeed

Calls are growing for the UN Security Council to be reformed after the US became the only member to use its veto power to block a Gaza ceasefire resolution, a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN chief says he will keep pushing for peace.

Any VETO power used should be supported by two third majority of the people to avoid misuse of power by lobbying.

[LillyBlack-wx]

YES YES, YES. Urgent reform is necessary. Now, now, PLEASE

[Ray-xcnm]

1 vote should not be able to override 13 others .

[bizliontv]

The world can'not continue to walk like this. The UN must be reformed.

[meilong]

You can’t have a single country imposing its will on the rest, it’s so undemocratic and unjust

[MdAminulIslam-unpi]

This ridiculous VETO powered must be abolished as soon as possible for the acceptance of UN.

[Ole_Woodworm]

Gaddafi was right in his only speech to the UN and was silenced for it.

[fazilsemain]

The UN members should boycott the assembly. There's no point of having the assembly since every proposed resolution against Isra3l will be vetoed by the US.

[jimg]

There's no way a resolution should be vetoed just because 1 or 2 members refused out of 15. Something need to change now.

[issamelarmi]

The fact that a few countries have the ability to stop the UN security council, totally undermines its ability and viability

[nasibakhan]

How can one country's veto hold more power than 13 countries' approval?

[saldipasqualeproductions]

I cannot hear what the US is saying because their actions speak so loudly.

" The US has vetoed resolutions on Israel a total of 46 times, including over Israel’s invasion of southern Lebanon as well as Israel’s annexation of the Syrian Golan Heights, which remains under Israeli occupation. Washington formally recognised Israeli sovereignty in 2019 over the Golan Heights, reversing decades of US policy."

[atiyasultana]

Who gave this veto power to USA take it back he doesn't deserve

[zasanafesenov]

The true evil in this world, is when good men do nothing to stop it.

[Aria_]

Absolutely, remove Veto power. Vote in GA majority rules. That is democracy they preach.

[fischook]

Remove the United States from the security council

[lilihammond]

While this is heartbreaking, we the people can do more. Boycott and Divest now.

[AM-luei]

Veto must be limited with certain constraints. Not against humanity. Law of majority must be applied as it is applied in favor of any final decision in any organization

[kumabear]

I’ve lost all my respect for the people in the US government
