France Proposes Regulating UN Security Council Veto Powers Amid Humanitarian Crises
During the UN General Assembly session, France proposed regulating the use of veto power in the UN Security Council, particularly in humanitarian crises such as those in Sudan and Lebanon. The initiative, rooted in the French-Mexican proposal from 2015, encourages permanent members to exercise self-restraint rather than abolishing veto rights or amending the UN Charter. The proposal has gained support from 128 states, including the UK, marking a significant political momentum for limiting veto use in cases of genocide and large-scale war crimes.
