UN Security Council meeting. File photoUN, Apr 26A number of states criticized the resolution adopted today, ordering to convene a meeting of the UN General Assembly every time a veto is used in the Security Council. within 10 working days «following the veto by one or more permanent members of the Security Council to discuss the situation vetoed.»The Deputy Representative to the UN commented on the resolution on the meetings of the General Assembly in the event of a veto. The representatives of Brazil and India pointed out that the work on the text was not inclusive and consultations for UN members were not properly organized. Advisor to the Permanent Mission of Belarus to the UN Igor Pilipenko called the procedure for developing the document unacceptable. According to him, work on the draft resolution was carried out behind closed doors. «We are not aware of any round of open discussion of the document — such an approach raises doubts about the good faith and good intentions of the authors,» he said. According to him, the resolution ignores these contradictions between the permanent members of the UN Security Council and «looks for simple workarounds.» “This is exactly what this resolution proposes to us. Instead of looking into the underlying causes of contradictions, the impossibility of reaching consensus within the Security Council, the reasons for the unwillingness of the permanent members of the Council to come to a compromise, the authors rely on brute force, their ability to form a majority in the General Assembly by all sorts of tricks. They openly declare this,» Pilipenko said. He stressed that the draft resolution was hastily put to the vote by the authors. «The draft resolution has an open political color and country focus. The authors also do not deny this fact,» the diplomat noted .
