Erdoğan Proposes UN Security Council Overhaul Without Veto Power
Turkish President Erdoğan has detailed a proposal to dismantle the UN Security Council's veto power and permanent memberships in favor of an elected, fixed-term body, explicitly arguing against expanding the permanent roster. He framed this overhaul as necessary to reflect modern geopolitical realities and strengthen the General Assembly's role, with Ankara signaling its full support for the reform.
UA.NEWS reports that Erdoğan explicitly rejected the idea of adding new permanent members, arguing it would merely shift rather than resolve the concentration of authority, and emphasized that Turkey will actively back the shift toward an elected body with fixed terms.
