Borrell: United Nations paralyzed by veto power
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy pointed out that the USA vetoed the draft resolutions submitted to the UN and said that the United Nations system was paralyzed due to the use of veto.
European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, in his speech in Brussels today, said, "Look what happened in the Security Council. There is no agreement, only a veto." said.
Borrell stated that EU member states did not use their veto right in the Gaza war and said, "The UN system has been paralyzed due to successive vetoes. These vetoes lead to conflicts, and conflicts cause loss of life and the spread of insecurity."
Describing the war in Gaza as the biggest moral problem of the international community, Borrell emphasized that the decisions of the International Criminal Court in The Hague should be implemented to stop the war.
