The UN Security Council consists of five permanent and ten non-permanent members. The five main countries of the Security Council, which have the right of veto, were formed following the results of the Second World War. It included the USA, the USSR (then the Russian successor), Great Britain, France and China. The decisions of the Security Council on all issues are considered adopted if the votes of nine participating countries are cast for them, including the concurring votes of the five permanent members.
Various world leaders have repeatedly called for UN reform. In the fall of 2021, the UN Security Council system was criticized by Turkish President Recep Erdogan: “We argue that the fate of humanity cannot and should not be thrown at the mercy of a handful of countries that won the Second World War.” Russia supports the discussion of the work of the UN Security Council, but insists on the need to preserve the veto power of the permanent members.
