Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for urgent reform of the UN Security Council. His statement came after the US alone vetoed a widely supported UN resolution for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Erdogan criticized the current structure of the Council, highlighting the injustice in global decision-making caused by the veto power of permanent members. “The UN Security Council demand for a ceasefire is rejected only by US veto. Is this justice?” Mr Erdogan said at a human rights conference in Istanbul. “The UN Security Council needs to be reformed,” he added
