Spanish PM Sanchez calls for UN Security Council reform, denounces Gaza situation as genocide
Addressing the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said peace, sustainability and equal opportunities are under attack by forces seeking a return to a 'dark past,' while calling the situation in Gaza a genocide.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for reform of the UN Security Council while addressing the UN General Assembly, according to Anadolu Agency, and described the situation in Gaza as a genocide.
Sanchez said peace, sustainability and equal opportunities are under attack by forces seeking a return to what he called a "dark past," though the report did not elaborate on which specific forces or actors he was referring to.
The Spanish leader's characterization of the situation in Gaza as a genocide places him among a number of world leaders who have used similar language, a description that remains a matter of significant international legal and political dispute.
Further details on the specific reforms to the UN Security Council that Sanchez proposed were not provided in the initial report.
