– I am sure that many in this room and in the world are frustrated that the UN does not get everything we want to achieve. This is stated by the UN Vice -General Secretary for Politics, from the stage at the Literature House in Oslo. There is a full hall. Outside, several are on the waiting list to hear the UN summit talk. There was a full hall in Oslo when Ryder was visiting. Photo: Hallgeir Aunan \/ news He has been invited by the UN Association to talk about the economic crisis, but the questions from the hall are mostly about one thing. Why doesn’t the UN do more? – I hear and understand the frustration. But the reality is that I cannot change what the Security Council chooses to vote for or not. This is how the UN works, and that’s where the problem lies, he tells news. The ceasefire is voted down the war in Ukraine, the huge disorders of Gaza and why there is no ceasefire among the gangsters. The situation in Gaza has repeatedly been admitted to the UN Security Council. But the resolutions have either been voted down or have not had any direct consequences. What is the UN UN is an international organization founded after World War II. With their 193 member states, their most important job is to ensure peace and security in the world. Source: What is the Security Council? The UN Security Council is responsible for the UN’s work on preserving peace and security. They can call for negotiations, appoint special envoys, deploy UN forces and implement penalties. The Council has 15 members. Source: UN What is a UN resolution? A resolution is a formal decision, which the UN Member State is obliged to follow. In order for a resolution to be approved, at least nine of the member states must vote for. In addition, none of the five permanent members must vote against (put down veto). Source: Fnphe has veto? The UK, China, Russia, the United States and France are permanent members of the Security Council, and have the right to veto a proposal. They do this by voting “no” when the countries vote on the proposal. If one of the five votes no, the proposal is not adopted – even though it has a majority among the other members of the Security Council. The veto right means that the permanent members of the Security Council have a lot of power compared to the rest of the members. Source: UN – Does the system work with the Security Council? -I think that the Security Council has become partly dysfunctional in recent years, and there have been some high-level failure, replies the UN summit. There has been talk of changing how the Security Council works. The Security Council: France, the United States, China, Russia and the UK are permanent members of the council. Photo: John Minchillo \/ John Minchillo \/ AP \/ NTB – When and if the Security Council is changed, I don’t know anything better than you. And this causes the problems, says Guy Ryder. Five countries have permanent veto rights, which means they can vote down proposals. France, the United States, China, Russia and the United Kingdom. Guy Ryder is Vice -General Secretary for Politics in the UN. Photo: Salvatore di Nolfi \/ AP \/ NTB-Guy is probably generous here, says Richard Gowan, and supports the UN Summit’s assessment. He is the head of the UN department of the International Crisis Group think tank. – Following the council’s recent failure over Gaza, Ukraine, Myanmar and Sudan, no one can pretend it is working properly. Even diplomats from the veto powers admit it’s a mess, says Gowan. It created a shock when the United States in February voted with Russia, and against a large majority in the UN General Assembly that condemned Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The United States has also repeatedly blocked suggestions for ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. But the director believes there is still a need for an organization like the UN. – It is an important platform to talk about global problems, but they struggle to deliver results on problems such as climate change and economic development. The Security Council receives a lot of criticism, says Gowan. – But the entire multilateral system is vulnerable, and the US cuts have made it even more vulnerable. UN in crisis? The Vice -General Secretary is in Norway to talk about the future of the UN. The financial situation for the organization is dramatic. A leaked internal document shows that the UN is considering a massive reform due to money problems. The 193 member states of the UN pay a quota, but after Trump came to power he cut some of the measures. – People are going to die, and people will suffer, because the UN saves lives, says Guy Ryder. At a press conference with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in February, Donald Trump announced that he will cut support for some UN aid. He called the organization for anti -Semites. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump earlier this year. Photo: Kevin Lamarque – We are not anti -Semites, Guy Ryder replies. But he acknowledges that the UN knows the political pressure from the United States. – There will always be criticism, but the response will always be to follow the UN values. If the situation does not turn around, the UN can run out of money in October this year. Published 09.05.2025, at. 07.15
