‘The re-United Nations’ is based on several previous blogs about the UN’s Quality of Constitution in this series SDG2030/QoH. The democratic General Assembly (UNGA) did align with the Secretary General’s (UNGS) clear banning of the Russian illegal warfare towards a UN member state, the abuse of veto power in the Security Council (UNSC) and the massive violations of the fundamental UN Charter (UNC). All in all – the united nations have realized and admit the organisational dysfunction. The UN has re-united to heal itself – for the qualitative existence of itself, as well as any nation, person and organisation. Thereby, the Kremlin-crises in the UNSC forced the UN to take own SDG16 seriously by adopting new procedures for the UNSC.
A veto in UNSC can now be overruled by the UNSG due to a newly adopted procedure. There are 5 new reform issues though, concerning; categories of membership, veto procedures, regional representation, enlarged and working-methods, and the UNSC/UNGA relationship. Hence, the invalidation of the Russian veto in the UNSC was altered with a demand to Russia to respect the UNC by withdrawing its armed forces, stop any aggression and declare peace.
The background to this issue is the Russian annexed 4 Ukrainian regions Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions (in addition to Crimea) by arranging sham referendums. (That Game is quite similar to the invasions of east-European nations by the PPS (Stalin), yet well-documented as a CdE Games (coup). The majority of the UNSC condemned these crimes as illegal, but was hindered by a planned vetoing by Russia. However, now such abuse of the veto-power triggers a new procedure that enables a resolving assembly in the UNGA. The UNGA Resolution ES‑11/4 required 2/3 majority and the UNGA got 3/4 majority. 143 voted for, 35 abstained, 10 was absent and only 5 voted against, namely; Russia, Belarus, Syria, North Korea and Nicaragua. Related to the BRICS pact; against, Russia; abstained, China, India, and South Africa; and Brazil vote for.
The debate in the UNGA revealed several other similar conflicts that might be resolved in the UN by this new procedure. Here are some observations from the video of the discussion before and after the democratic vote: North-Korea criticized the USA for the military support to South-Korea, which is perceived as a threat of invasion. Russia claims it has the right to annex, presented in wording like the cold-war SU block policy. Russia criticized ‘the West’ of violating the formers Yugoslavia after the death of their PP Tito. Syria claimed that ‘the western’ nations are to blame for the Russian annexation and thereby legitimized the Russian violate UN charter. (However, the Syrian wordings that was similar to the Russian objections in the UNGA and probably written by the Kremlin.) Venezuela voted against because they wanted a delay the decision with more debates. South-Africa abstained, arguing that the resolution does not present a concrete solution. Pakistan abstains, because they claim India occupies Kashmir and wanted a ban of that too. Likewise, India abstains because they required more resolutions, like their Kashmir dispute. Brazil voted in favor even though they are in the BRICS pact with Russia. Cuba abstains because they claimed that only Ukraine was favored. The Rwanda vs Congo conflict was in heated regional disagreements, which also included Uganda. However, the China vs Taiwan dispute was not debated due to China’s domination in the UN.
This new resolution procedure in the UN has already change the constitution and the politics considerable. Such safeguard is to prevent constitutional dysfunctions of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), hence CCD (colonial collapse disorder). Hopefully, similar binding UNGA resolutions will solve other regional conflicts in Africa, Arabia, Asia and America – as well as Europe. In fact, the EU has now matured some more and seems rather capable to resolve European crises due to the new Kremlin’s hybrid world-warfare. Still, the Kremlin seems too mass-psychotic and still denies global reality. Such issues of healing the Kremlin are not handles in this monthly blog-series SDG2030/QoH, but in the weekly blog-series SDG2030/P5GO. The next blogs in this series will probably concern the other UN procedures – like the enlargement of the UNSC.
