Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has voiced disappointment over the failure of the United Nations Security Council to respond to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, calling for reforms that would allow the UN to better defend global peace and order.
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a conduct that tramples the philosophy and principles of the UN charter … It should never be tolerated,” Kishida told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) at its annual meeting in New York City, calling for reform of a system that gives five states, including Russia, a veto in the Security Council.
