President of Finland Alexander Stubb supported President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev’s initiative to
reform the UN Security Council. Meeting with students at Maqsut Narikbayev University, Stubb noted that international organizations must change along
with the world. Earlier, Tokayev had raised the issue of reforming global
structures during the UN General Assembly.
«Agency means that you have power, or you have a word, or you have a
vote. And I made three proposals. One is to double the size of the Security
Council from five to ten. My second proposal is to remove the veto power of the
permanent members of the UN Security Council, because that, in my mind, has
incapacitated the work of the Security Council. And my third proposal is to
withdraw the voting right of a country in the Security Council or elsewhere
that is violating the UN Charter. So that will create a new balance in the
system,» Stubb said.
