UNITED NATIONS, Sept 25: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has
called for a complete structural overhaul of the United Nations Security
Council in order to reflect the rule of law in international relations.
Iranian
leader made the remarks at the 67th Session of the UN General Assembly
on the `Rule of law` at the national and international levels on Monday
night.
`The discriminatory privilege, the influential and imposed
role of the Security Council as well as [the right of] veto and some of
its owners are unacceptable and illegitimate and for that reason the
Security Council is incapable of administering justice and main-taining a
stable order and security in the world,` Ahmadinejad said.
He
called upon all UN memberstates to reach an immediate agreement on a
total overhaul of the Security Council in the interests of justice and
the nations of the world.
Mr Ahmadinejad pointed fingers at `some
veto holders who remain silent over the atomic bombs of the fake
Zionist regime (of Israel) or support it, but at the same time hinder
the scientific achievements of other nations.
Majority of the
five permanent members the United States, Britain and France who wield
veto power are allies of Israel, which is a nuclear power posing
potential threat to Iran.
`By making false references to the UN
Charter and by misusing[the concept of] liberty, they remain silent over
insults to the sanctity of humanity and the divine Prophets or they
lend support to offenders, infringe on the freedom of others, and allow
insults against sanctity and people,` the Iranian President alleged, in
an apparent reference to an incendiary anti-Islam film made in the US
that triggered anti-US protests across the Islamic world.
Iranian
leader made 10 proposals for the better observance of the rule of law
in international relations. They include major amendments in the
regulations governing the Security Council incorporating the interests
of nations and ensuring principles of equality and justice, through the
participation of all members of the General Assembly.
