“These issues are not yet discussed at press conferences and in public statements by the leaders of states and governments, but at a lower level, people are already asking the question -- what Russia should become like in order not to pose a threat to peace and security,“ he said. But the permanent five -- who all carry veto power that can block any resolution -- reflect the power dynamics at the end of World War II.
The body can also be rendered impotent by a single veto-wielding member -- as was shown in February when diplomats carried on reading pre-written statements just as Russia started bombarding Ukraine.
