Turkish President proposes to make UN structure fairer

Recep Tayyip Erdogan believes that the need to reform the United Nations is long overdue. The Turkish President proposes to make the UN structure more fair.

Erdogan considers the UN security system imperfect and unfair. In his opinion, the five states that have the status of permanent members of the Security Council of this international organization have broader rights than the rest, so they decide the fate of the entire world, which has 193 countries. According to the Turkish leader, this should not be so.

At the same time, Erdogan claims that he does not seek to gain benefits for his state, but stands for equality and justice.

When we say that the world is more than five countries, we are trying to protect the rights and common interests of all mankind, and we do not do it from the interests of our country

- says the President of Turkey.

This is not the first time he has expressed his dissatisfaction with the existing world order. Erdogan's statements on this topic are heard from the rostrum of the UN General Assembly about once a year. And last year, during his visit to Angola, he said that the fate of the world should not be decided by a handful of countries that won World War II. The Turkish President added that the world is not limited to five countries.

Well, he can say anything, he has enough ambitions to reform everything and everyone.

Who prevented Turkey from defeating fascism in World War II? Turkey, on the contrary, was very active in flirting with Hitler. And only the fear of repeating its fate in WWI kept Turkey from attacking the USSR.

Both of you are 100% right (+ Sea Cat), let him try to invent a time machine and rewind.

[Shurik70]

Well, in theory, Erdogan is correct.
In Russia, many people also consider UN chatter to be just a waste of people's money.
But in practice, this is precisely why the League of Nations became non-functional, that too many people had the right to vote. As a result, ANY solution always blocked.

How else? Previously, the world was "bipolar", as they say, in order to avoid the "H" time, the founding countries should have the right of Veto. But basically, of course, I agree with you - the UN should be reformed - how? I only have dreams that will break about the realities of our world. I apologize for a little pathos.

[NIKN]

It seems that it is necessary to reform the UN, because there is 1 representative in charge there and not 5. But something is really scary in these realities to reform it, because it seems to me that the reforms will again be one-sided and which side Turkey will take in this reform, only Erdogan knows.

[Catfish]

Erdogan .... said that the fate of the world should not be decided by a handful of countries that won the Second World War.

And who prevented Turkey from becoming one of the victorious countries in World War II? What they fought for, they have.

[Pulkovo1942]

Just wanted to write this. They joined for show at the last stage of the war, and now they want to reshape the submarine.

[Artyom1979]

The UN may be shutting down soon.

[t-12]

General world elections? One delegate from 10 million earthlings?

[Murmur 55]

t-12 , and who will COUNT the results of those elections????

I will think. I think Churov is better.

[Murmur 55]

the main thing is that the not "civilized" West sit in the electoral committee

[January]

Envy is a bad feeling. But I also really want to decide "the fate of the world ..."

[LAWNER]

Try ... wrong, and the whole nation has no future ..

[faterdom]

Who is strong and just.
And whoever is weak - he has the right to support the strong, to be afraid or to hate ... but to decide for the strong what to do and how to do it, sorry, it’s definitely not fair, it has never been like that and never will be.
Yes, the balance is changing, and, for example, the UK and India have different prospects, but for now, as it is.

[Vladimir61]

The United Nazis Organization, like many international structures, including humanitarian, sports and others, should no longer suit us! Reforms are needed, but without taking into account the opinion of pro-Western sixes the size of a mitten or military-economic associations, which in a flock imagined themselves to be the arbiters of the destinies of the world. Those countries that have real political independence, confirmed by the presence of forces capable of ensuring world order, should decide.

[igorra]

Turks and the veto button? It's safer to give a grenade to a monkey. If rebuilding, then give the right of veto to the state with a 1000-year, uninterrupted history of statehood. And the most important confirmation is that the language of the state from the moment of its creation should not change to the language of the conquerors. Then all sorts of impudent Saxons and Turks will be weeded out.

. Sultan, for equality and justice!?!?!?
I can’t even believe it with difficulty ... I can’t believe it from the definition AT ALL!

[Murmur 55]

, yeah, he spudded part of Syria on the sly and now drowns for "justice".

[Ravik]

Move Headquarters to Russia.
As long as this office is in the states, the whole world will have what it has.

To China ... The largest number of inhabitants of the Earth live there. In any case, the UN should be located in the Eastern Hemisphere, where the number of countries is larger, the population is larger, there are more parts of the world ... There are even more permanent members of the UN ...

[Aag]

Well ... Like, - "the right of the strong." And Erdogan sees Turkey among the strongest.
Although neither France nor the UK is particularly drawn to this role. Compared even to Germany (which is by no means the winner in WWII).
Maybe it's time to replace someone in this five. Erdogan is torn off the bench. Or wants to become the sixth field player.
After all, he does not want to give the right of veto to all countries! Then it will not be the UN, but one big bazaar (literally and figuratively).

[igorbrsv]

They can't agree on anything there. And they will agree, so still no one cares about him

[megadeth]

If Turkey becomes the sixth country, then Erdogan will immediately arrange everything .....

[Raven 95]

And correctly, Comrade Erdogan says that there is nothing for 5 countries to do there. Leave Russia, the United States and China as candidates in the Security Council. All the same, the remaining 190 countries do not have their own opinion.

Cool idea! Perhaps I will support you!

[VicktorVR]

The UN can be dissolved.
Long.
From the moment when it became clear that the collapse of the USSR was inevitable.

And even before that, the same Israel, even without the support of the United States, spat on the UN, and even more so with support.

China as a candidate? But, for mercy's sake, he's one of the founders!

[Elephant]

It is long overdue to move the UN headquarters from the States to some neutral country

[LAWNER]

Nah ... He is now Osman Sultan .. Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia ...... We only need Serbia .. Only there Brothers and Sisters.

[igorbrsv]

. the fate of the world should not be decided by a handful of countries that won World War II

Then it must be another organization. Because this one was organized by the winners (and those assigned to them). Who's stopping you from trying to organize a new one? Vsha only. And the UN has been useless for a long time and lice rule the ball

[Kuzmitsky]

Are there only winners in the Security Council? Does France have more rights to be called a winner than, for example, Belarus?

Well, in essence, if the Sultan of the UN does not like it, he does not want to obey its rules, let him leave it and create his own organization. As they say, the collective farm is voluntary.

[igorbrsv]

. Does France have more rights to be called a winner than, for example, Belarus?

USSR winner. But it so happened that the legal successor of the USSR is the Russian Federation. We also paid our debts. Nobody objected

[iouris]

You have to fight for this. And win. For example, take Vienna and Berlin. Come on, Erdogan.

[Yuri Vishnevetsky-Koribut]

Learn from the Turks - in any situation they will bite off their piece.

[Fisherman]

Point 1: withdraw Ukraine from the UN as a non-state
Item 2: move the UN to Shanghai....no - to Belgrade!

[Buck]

Russia, China and India are enough for now.

Ukraine was enough for us, where the UN Security Council was 8 years old, everyone danced to the Anglo-Saxons, there were more than 1 of them (RF)

they will not do anything, at least someone else remembers the lessons of history!

[grandfather_Kostya]

The veto power in the Security Council of the five nuclear powers is the diplomatic equivalent of a nuclear strike. Who wants to change this situation only pushes the world to war.

[Bayun]

He is right. But who will give him such a system where China has 15 votes, India has 10, the US has 3, Europe has 5, Russia has 1, and so on. Well, this is "voluntarism". Although, and world DEMOCRACY, if you do not cheat with it.

Dementia does not have genetically modified strains.

[Ermak_Timofeich]

five states that have the status of permanent members of the Security Council of this international organization have broader rights than the rest, therefore they decide the fate of the whole world

This is where the point needs to be made. These five countries created the UN, by right of winners in the 2nd World War. Erdogan proposes to "re-war"?

[Div Divich]

The UN is the result of the Second World War, so the UN will change only after the Third World War, and it will be changed by the winners, not by the observers.

[archiroll]

You need to start by setting up a headquarters in a new neutral country ...

[infantrefir]

The only thing that can be done, even necessary, is to remove the UN from North America and plant it on some island, .. away from the USA.
