Turkiye has renewed calls for an end to the veto power held by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, according to Al Jazeera.
Fully abolishing the veto would require the agreement of all five permanent members — the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom — an outcome the report describes as unlikely given each country's interest in preserving the power.
The renewed push reflects longstanding criticism from several UN member states, who argue the veto gives disproportionate influence to a small number of countries over global security decisions.
Analysts cited in the report say any change to the Security Council's structure remains a distant prospect given the reluctance of permanent members to relinquish their authority.
