Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Russia blocks UN tribunal on MH17
Another veto by the P5 member state, again
by Russia. In the UN Security Council, there are five permanent member states
that hold the right to refuse to accept a resolution, even though the rest of
the council members support it. This time, the resolution was to set up an
international tribunal to investigate who shot down the flight MH17 over
Ukraine in 2014, which was boarded by 300 passengers and the crew.
What is this veto power for? 70 years after
the last world war ended, does the world still need to have the V5, allies
claimed the victory of the war, to be P5, permanent (or privileged me) members
to bring and maintain peace?
Enjoy reading and learning about this
another controversial right of the UN Security Council.
