Spain’s
Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has made a bold call for sweeping
reforms within the United Nations, urging the abolition of veto power in
the UN Security Council.
In an
interview with El Diario, Sánchez argued that the veto mechanism often
blocks critical decisions, especially during urgent global crises.
According to him, this system allows a handful of powerful nations to
stall international action based on their own political interests.
He
also questioned the legitimacy of permanent seats held by countries
like Russia and the United States, particularly given their involvement
in ongoing conflicts such as in Ukraine and Iran.
Sánchez
emphasized that reform is no longer optional, but essential. Without
it, the UN risks remaining ineffective and overly influenced by a small
group of global powers, rather than serving as a fair and representative
body for the international community.
“We must abolish the veto power within the UN.”
He
warned that without fundamental changes, global governance will
continue to face deadlock—while conflicts and humanitarian crises
persist without meaningful resolution.
