Kallas criticizes that the Peace Commission "does not reflect" the UN Security Council resolution
The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Policy has also warned that the UN Security Council is not functioning properly 'because countries are above the law'.
European Union High Representative for Foreign Policy Kaja Kallas criticized this Friday that the Peace Commission created by US President Donald Trump "does not reflect" the UN Security Council resolution.
"It is true that the resolution of the United Nations Security Council provided for a Peace Commission, but it was limited until 2027 . It also provided for the Palestinians to have a voice and also referred to Gaza, while the Peace Commission, as defined by the Charter, does not mention any, "the head of European diplomacy said during the debate at the Munich Security Conference.
He has made these statements in response to the US ambassador to the United States, Mike Waltz, who, for his part, recalled that the Peace Commission was set up in a UN Security Council vote with votesin favour of Pakistan, the United Kingdom or France.
This very Friday, the European Commission expressed its' doubts' about 'certain elements of the Peace Commission letter', namely its scope, governance and compatibility with the Charter of the United Nations.
In this regard, the European External Action Officer has warned that the UN Security Council 'does not function properly', not least because 'some countries are above international law', and has therefore advocated the need to reform the multilateral system so that all countries are' equal '.
Kallas added that if there are rules and "someone violates them, eventhe most powerful countriesb papa, "there must be" some kind of accountability "for them, and recalled that the current international order was established" after the Second World War, and all that was happening then was taken into account. "
However, these rules "do not apply to today's world," he said in reference to the UN Security Council, where the permanent members of the UN, the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom have veto powers, which prevents the imposition of sanctions when they violate, inter alia, the principles of the UN Charter.
