As long as a veto country is allowed to vote on an issue against the same country, any decision is doomed.
This is the case now in the ongoing Ukraine- Russia conflict.
Dr. Walter Mzembi, Chairman for World Tourism Network Africa, and VP of this global travel and tourism network shared the following snippets on this issue today on social media. Dr. Mzembi was the former minister of foreign affairs for Zimbabwe and one of the longest-serving tourism ministers in the world.
The UN VETO power rule of its Security Council must be reformed, otherwise it is self serving
Bravery is not always fighting back but being scorned for cowardice for the greater good, saving precious lives !
Unilateral recognition of secessionist states is very dangerous for unitarianism . Most Nations are an amalgam of distinctively identifiable ethnic and cultural entities built around provinces. Precedent by Russia has far reaching sovereign ramifications!
The extent of UN impotence over the Ukrainian crisis should tell anyone appealing to it and it’s organs to look inward and for home grown solutions . This is the New World Order , a UN crying 😢 more than the berieved!It’s a difficult situation dealing with narcissistic characters with Nuke buttons , the end game could be distasterous, and lots of response recalibration super critical. This crisis exposes the failure of diplomacy and the impotency of the United Nations.
As you would recall in 2017 I (Dr. Walter Mzembi) became a personal victim of one of the UN organs , the UNWTO, after it denied me a General Ballot as per its statutes following a deadlock for an elective position of Secretary – General, simply because I was Zimbabwean! This UN was mute !
Mr Secretary General Antonio Guterres go the front and become the public face of humanity to avert this war ! Speaking from the towers of New York while routinely ok is not what is needed now ;
Frontline Diplomacy is the antidote of war.
