“If a criminal is at the helm of the United Nations, how can we expect justice?” write Alona Shkrum, Dmytro Natalukha, and Lesia Vasylenko, members of the Ukrainian Parliament
Alona Shkrum, Dmytro Natalukha, and Lesia Vasylenko are all lawyers, human rights activists, and members of the Parliament of Ukraine.A year ago, our delegation of Ukrainian parliamentarians sat at the U.N.
The war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine has exposed an overdue need for a radical reassessment of the U.N. and its Security Council, organizations that have proven unable to fulfill their promise to ensure global peace. That tacit consent has allowed the Kremlin, among other things, to block any efforts in the Security Council to help Ukraine amid increasing Russian aggression since 2014. In fact, over the years, Russia has used its veto 143 times: more than all other permanent members in the Council, including China, combined. This has reduced the main peacekeeping world organization to a mere powerless observer.
While Russia has invaded the sovereign territory of Ukraine and committed mass acts of killing and torture of civilians, the U.N. has failed—and without change, will continue to fail—to provide any meaningful response.According to Article 4 of the U.N. Charter, new member states must be admitted by a vote of the General Assembly. But Russia avoided this by claiming to continue the membership formerly held by the USSR.
