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.
