AGENCY REPORT
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has criticised the United Nations for its inability to effectively address global conflicts, calling for comprehensive reforms of the UN Security Council.
Erdogan made the remarks as world leaders gathered for the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The Turkish president argued that the current global decision-making system no longer reflects today’s realities, noting that the Security Council still operates largely according to a structure established after World War II.
He called for an overhaul of the council, including the removal of the veto power held by its five permanent members, arguing that decisions on global peace and security should not remain concentrated in the hands of a few countries.
Erdogan also reiterated his support for the recognition of a Palestinian state, stressing the need for greater international action on the Palestinian issue.
He said recent crises, including wars, energy shocks, pandemics and disruptions to global supply chains, had exposed the limitations of relying on decisions made by a small number of powerful capitals.
According to Erdogan, the international system must adapt to contemporary global realities to become more representative and effective in addressing threats to international peace and security.
He has repeatedly advocated reform of the UN Security Council under his “The world is bigger than five” position, which calls for a broader representation of countries in the body.
