Erdogan Urges End to Veto and Permanent Security Council Seats

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in New York called the Security Council 'unjust,' urging an end to permanent seats and the veto, the power to block any measure. He proposed the wider General Assembly elect all members for set terms. Changing the UN Charter needs approval from all five veto powers: the US, UK, France, Russia and China.
