UN Secretary-General Guterres said today: "We need a Security Council that reflects the world today, not the world of 1945. When the veto power becomes a political cover, and when geopolitical competition overrides the protection of civilians, the result is always the same: impunity grows, suffering escalates, and human rights are violated."
Comment: Guterres' words are very clear and also helpless. The Security Council still lives in the framework of 1945, and the power structure has long been out of touch with the real world. The veto power is often used as a shield, and when great power games start, civilians and human rights can only be pushed aside. He pointed out the most painful part of global governance: on the surface, it's about maintaining peace, but in reality, it's often taken hostage by geopolitics. However, everyone knows that reform is needed, but no one is willing to truly give up power. No matter how much the UN calls for it, it is difficult to shake the existing order of major powers, which is the most realistic tragedy.
