UNSC needs restructuring

An Iranian parliamentarian says domineering powers use the UN Security Council to further tyrannize oppressed peoples, adding the UNSC needs restructuring.

“The UN Security Council is in the hands of the US and a few other powerful countries,” member of Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Hossein Ebrahimi was quoted by IRNA as saying on Monday.

He said the council does not act to serve the interests of oppressed nations and only issues resolutions to help Washington take advantage of other nations.

“All the Security Council does is to make domineering powers more aggressive, and to that end, it tramples the rights of the oppressed Palestinian nation,” added the MP.

He underlined the Tehran Declaration was an initiative by Iran to turn confrontation into cooperation on the world scene, but the adoption of the fourth sanctions resolution against Iran by the Security Council has frustrated all nations.
