|    How to expel Russia from the UN    |
|    22 Sep 23 19:01:50    |
      From: cybernetic4456@gmail.com              The war in Ukraine will have demonstrated the impotence of the United Nations       if a permanent member of the Security Council with full veto power becomes a       rogue state without consequence. For the havoc it created, Russia must now be       evicted from the UN.              Nevertheless, there is another way forward based on principles and the common       will of the international community. This involves expelling the Russian       Federation from the UN through the General Assembly, which can be done under       Art. 18, #2. Obviously,        if a country loses its status as a UN member, it also loses its seat on the       Security Council.              To accomplish this, first, a resolution proposing Russia’s exp       lsion/suspension needs to go to the General Assembly from the Security              Council, per Art. 12, #1. Second, the General Assembly must vote by a       two-thirds +1 supermajority in favor of expulsion.              Article 27, #3 of the Charter states that if the Security Council is       deliberating an issue concerning one of its members, “a party to the dispute       shall abstain from voting under paragraph 3 of Article 52.” This can allow       the Security Council to send        the issue to the General Assembly without Russia simply vetoing the move.              https://thehill.com/opinion/international/3717566-how-to-expel-r       ssia-from-the-un/#:~:text=Obviously%2C%20if%20a%20country%20loses,12%2C%20%231.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
