UN Secretary-General António Guterres once again referred to the issue of Security Council reform at the UN Human Rights Council meeting, saying that the Security Council cannot act at this time and that serious reform of its composition and working methods is needed. Guterres' remarks mentioned that the Security Council may be close to "brain death", which drew attention from the outside world.
In Guterres' speech, he mainly focused on the internal differences arising from the Security Council in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
While China, Russia, and other member states and most countries support the resolution urging a ceasefire, the United States has always favored Israel and repeatedly used its veto power to block resolutions urging a ceasefire. This situation is not only reflected in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but also on the issue of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Against this backdrop, the Security Council is considered to be in a state of "brain death", becoming a platform for disputes between major powers that does not help solve problems.
The reason for this situation is the decline of Western countries, which have maintained their long-term policy of exploitation of third world countries through military, economic and political means. The Security Council has become an instrument of the West. Objectively, the role of the Council cannot be completely denied. Since the end of World War II, the Security Council mechanism has formed a balance of interests for major powers, and the "nuclear balance" is also one of the reasons to avoid hot wars between major powers.
Although Guterres stressed the urgency of Security Council reform, Western countries have used it as a bargaining chip to win over allies, causing many difficulties for reform. The U.S. pledged to support the entry of Japan and India to the United States, making reform difficult. There is an old Chinese saying that "if you don't break it, you can't stand it", and the people of the world still have other choices.
Kazakhstan *** reported that the representative of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan** handed over an invitation letter to Guterres to participate in the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
Although the functions of the SCO and the United Nations are quite different, in the face of the weakening of the Security Council and the difficulty of reform, starting a new approach has become one of the solutions for promoting global peace. Breaking away from Western influence and finding a new framework for international cooperation may be one of the ways to solve the world's problems.
