Naledi Pandor slams UN Security Council over Russia-Ukraine war'The conflict has exposed the inadequacy of the UN system and highlighted the need for serious attention to our repeated calls for substantive reform of the Security Council and the UN itself,' said Pandor. Now she is hitting where it matters, truly a UNsc that subjects itself to the destructive authority of an obsolete NATO really needs serious reform. There can be no genuine global peace with the toxic packaging order there. I agree with her on this one: Security council member states: US,UK, France, Russia, China all of them cannot see eye to eye and they want to take us to World War Three. Can we trust them to provide Security hell 👎 Who's this guy?
