The Wheel of Lies: the U.N Security Council

In August 2015, France, with the support of Mexico, launched the ‘Political Declaration on Suspension of Veto Powers in Cases of Mass Atrocity,’ aimed at securing voluntary restraint on the use of the veto by the Permanent Members of the UN Security Council when faced with mass atrocities.

As of July 2022, 104 member states and 2 UN observers have signed the declaration.

On the 70th General Assembly of the United Nations, International Community has agreed on the need of stopping somehow the overwhelming power emaned by the

"Top Five Criminals" and their unquestioned "Veto Right " in opposition to the rest of Permanent Members; those that have beared and witnessed impassively how their best attempts to collaborate and punish the worst wars and humanitarian crisis of our century through these now, pointless organism, has leaded nowhere.

To waist our time, our best will and our money will have bitter consequences having account that it also means that it's finishing with our patience and our faith in the international community system concerning its ability and serviceability to defend the integrity of the countries well- being and our moral values.

It could be understandable, that, on 1945 and subsequent years, the machinery of the organism hasn't showed off the worst of its foundational imperfections yet, but with the course of events and passing of years, with all the befallen international crisis on the table that have ocurred ( Siria, Yemen Palestine, Ukraine,etc) it had to be clearly verified for the State Members how inefficient and inoperative the functionality of the Security Council, in practice, is.

Reached that point, I'm tempted to think that this constatación is purposefully hidden and omitted on the belief that European Citizens won't be persuaded by these facts, and the counselors may come home on time for their Christmas celebrations by pretending that they have been committed to fill their role and have their work done with a fair conscience, once more.

This is just one thread of thinking, but I can go further, still: aren't the Counselors informed and prevented about their own decision- making processes results and the foundational charter legal that rules their own role-up at their workplace?

Let's make them a brief reminder:

We, the undersigned, Member States of the United Nations, reaffirm that the United Nations were created to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war and to protect the dignity and worth of the human person as well as the fundamental human rights. We further reaffirm that the Security Council was given the primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security by the United Nations Charter.

We consider that situations of mass atrocities, when crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes on a large scale are committed, may constitute a threat to international peace and security and require action by the international community. In that regard, we recall that the Heads of state and government of the United Nations expressed their readiness to “take collective action, in a timely and decisive manner, through the Security Council, in accordance with the Charter” when national authorities fail to protect their populations from genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes (World Summit Outcome Document of 2005).

We therefore consider that the Security Council should not be prevented by the use of veto from taking action with the aim of preventing or bringing an end to situations involving the commission of mass atrocities. We underscore that the veto is not a privilege, but an international responsibility. In that respect, we welcome and support the initiative by France, jointly presented with Mexico, to propose a collective and voluntary agreement among the permanent members of the Security Council to the effect that the permanent members would refrain from using the veto in case of mass atrocities. We express our strong resolve to continue our efforts to prevent and end the commission of mass atrocities.

Regarding this: what are the Permanent Members of the Security Council waiting for to suspend eventually the Veto Right to the United States by invoking this legal principle and allow Palestinians to receive all the International Aid and Support as much as the right to create a Palestinian Nation- State.

Even more: to allow and remain static, just by letting this dispurposefull wheel rounding on, once again and once more, will only lead to a dangerous alignment of world countries, that will follow the occupation exemple upon the auspicious of the "Top Five Criminals " on the expectation of remaining unpunished under their protection by their respective vetoe'srights on the Security Council; on the other hand, it will only reinforce their power of these last ones by gaining allies through their prospects of proved impunity.

We recently had a glimpse of this problem to arise on the horizon of world geostrategy by the treads of Venezuela about invading and annexing the isle of Guyana, obviously expecting the future protection of one of the Vetoe Right Holders on the Security Council, as it's Russia or the approachments of the Taiwan's territory by China which, of course, will do the same mentioned by defending itself.

All this undesirable sequences of events are unveiling that the Security Council is not only failing on the defense of the international community system, to persuade the countries to perpetrate any violation of the international law by an appropriate system of sanctions and punishment as it should be from its main foundational statutes, but the opposite: it's jeopardizing the balance of power and territorial integrity, among the world countries by pervading and widespreading the idea that it's worthy to break the law and be by the side of one of the five " Vetoe Right Holders " rather that respect and be an international community rights law observant.

It's imprescindible and truly important to modify all the aspects of the International Organizations Organisms and Fundational Charters and respect the decisions taken concerning fundamental aspects for the human rights protection, before starting another round of sessions able for nothing but to make world citizens make lose the faith in their legal system of values and impulse them to undertake their own action.
