Log: Chako, did you hear that Prime Minister Ishiba gave a speech at the UN General Assembly recently? He was talking about the expansion of the Security Council. It means that various countries should be more involved. Hmm, I wonder why that’s so necessary? Why are only certain countries in such a strong position within the UN? Chako: That’s probably because of the veto power, right? But why does Russia hold such significant influence? Navi: The permanent members of the UN Security Council were established after World War II, reflecting the international power dynamics of that time. The influence of those countries with veto power is still believed to have a significant impact on international politics today.

Admin’s Note

Prime Minister Ishiba’s speech at the United Nations conveys an important message regarding the current international situation. In particular, the actions of countries with veto power cannot be overlooked in their impact on the international community. As these discussions progress, there is a growing demand for more countries to take responsibility for security. With the 80th anniversary of the UN approaching, it may be a good time to reflect on its role and functions. I look forward to observing how the international community will evolve in the future.
