“The UNSC CONTINUES TO LOSE ITS LEGITIMACY”

The Permanent Representative of Brazil to the UN, Sergio França Danese, stated that his country’s Security Council Presidency has reached a moment in which “perhaps the oldest and longest conflict in the world” has erupted again.

Noting that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict caused many loss of life, Danese said: “The UN Security Council has been ineffective. “It continues to lose legitimacy and credibility.” he said.

Danese noted that the UN Charter remains the best option and that the UNSC should revive its duty to prevent conflict and provide a peaceful solution. (AA)
