FINLAND’S PRESIDENT PROPOSES U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL REFORMS – Finland’s president wants end of single state veto 

Finland’s President Alexander Stubb has called for expansion of the U.N. Security Council, abolition of its single state veto power, and suspension of any member engaging in an “illegal war” such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He plans to present these proposals at the upcoming U.N. General Assembly.

In an interview, Stubb proposed expanding the council’s permanent membership from five to ten, with additional representatives from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. He emphasised that no single nation should wield veto power and advocated for suspension of members involved in illegal conflicts.
