French President Emmanuel Macron has criticized the UN Security Council because the body no longer produces useful solutions. Reported by le Grand Continent.
“The framework of multilateral cooperation is weakened today, because it is blocked (…). I have to admit that the Security Council today does not offer useful solutions, ”the French leader admitted.
Macron also recalled that one of his tasks is to strengthen the political power of Europe. He believes that Europe needs more independence, including in terms of defense capabilities.
Earlier it was reported that South Africa wants to demand that Africa be given a seat as a permanent member of the UN Security Council. In the opinion of Africans, a continent with a population of more than a billion people should have a permanent representation in the UN Security Council. This is necessary, among other things, to solve global health problems, to prevent wars or natural disasters.
The Security Council is a permanent UN structure responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It always consists of five permanent member states (Russia, Great Britain, China, USA, France), as well as ten temporary ones.
