“UN General Assembly Head: Excessive Veto Usage Hindering UN’s Crisis Response Capabilities”
Государства-члены ООН обсуждают во вторник вопрос о праве вето и о том, каким образом заседания Генеральной Ассамблеи, проводимые в рамках «инициативы вето», могут наилучшим образом служить целям резолюции 76/262.
Почти два года назад делегаты 76-й сессии Генеральной Ассамблеи ООН приняли данную резолюцию, в соответствии с которой Ассамблея собирается в течение 10 дней после того, как один из постоянных членов Совета Безопасности воспользовался правом вето. Дебаты проводятся для того, чтобы обсудить ситуацию и заслушать объяснения причин применения вето.
Председатель Генассамблеи Деннис Фрэнсис подчеркнул важную роль этого механизма для улучшения прозрачности, подотчетности и сотрудничества между Совбезом и ГА. По его словам, несмотря на их разные мандаты, органы ООН должны работать сообща в целях поддержания глобального мира и безопасности.
Фрэнсис отметил, что со времени прошлогодних дебатов по данному вопросу постоянные члены Совета Безопасности заблокировали принятие восьми резолюций и одной поправки. Он заявил, что неограниченное использование права вето препятствует способности ООН оперативно реагировать на кризисные ситуации в области мира и безопасности по всей планете, в том числе в Газе, Украине, Сирии, Мали и КНДР. «Паралич» в Совете Безопасности и отсутствие консенсуса между его членами подрывают доверие к ООН, добавил Фрэнсис.
Он призвал государства, особенно членов Совета Безопасности, использовать дебаты в Генассамблее для преодоления разногласий и поиска эффективных решений, в частности с более широким участием Ассамблеи. Фрэнсис выразил уверенность в «коллективной мудрости и созидательном потенциале» 193 государств-членов ООН, все из которых представлены в Генеральной Ассамблее, для достижения общих целей в области мира и безопасности.

Almost two years ago, delegates of the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted this resolution, according to which the Assembly convenes within 10 days after one of the permanent members of the Security Council exercises the veto right. Debates are held to discuss the situation and hear explanations for the reasons for veto use. General Assembly President Dennis Francis emphasized the important role of this mechanism in improving transparency, accountability, and cooperation between the Security Council and the General Assembly. According to him, despite their different mandates, UN bodies must work together to maintain global peace and security. Francis noted that since last year’s debates on this issue, permanent members of the Security Council have blocked the adoption of eight resolutions and one amendment. He stated that the unlimited use of the veto right impedes the UN’s ability to timely respond to crisis situations in the areas of peace and security worldwide, including in Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, Mali, and DPRK. A “paralysis” in the Security Council is unacceptable and undermines the core principles of the UN.

It’s concerning to see how the excessive use of veto power is hindering the UN’s ability to effectively respond to crises globally. The transparency, accountability, and cooperation between the Security Council and the General Assembly are crucial for maintaining international peace and security. The UN bodies must work together to address crises promptly in regions such as Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, Mali, and North Korea. The deadlock in the Security Council due to veto misuse is alarming.
It’s crucial to limit the excessive use of veto power at the UN Security Council to enhance the organization’s ability to swiftly respond to global crisis situations. The collaborative efforts between the General Assembly and the Security Council are essential for maintaining global peace and security, as highlighted by Dennis Francis, the President of the General Assembly. Let’s hope for more effective decision-making for the betterment of all nations.
