Host Raza Rumi engages in conversation with Munir Akram, a highly esteemed diplomat with a wealth of experience across various roles, presently serving as Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations. In light of the ongoing crisis gripping the world, there is a deep-seated concern among compassionate individuals regarding the severe hardships endured by the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli state. The pivotal question arises: why has the Security Council failed to intervene in this egregious violation of human rights? The existing veto power wielded by the Council's permanent members renders it ineffective and unrepresentative of the broader UN membership. Is it time to expand the Council's membership? And should the veto power, which often leads to paralysis, be reconsidered? The current Israeli government comprises cabinet members who are staunch advocates of the displacement of Palestinians and the expansion of Israel's territory. Even if a resolution were to be passed by the Security Council, compelling the Israeli government to comply would pose a formidable challenge, presenting a dual dilemma. #newwaveglobal #gaza #palestine #israel #munirakram #unitednations #securitycouncil #unitedstates #usa #russia #israel #china #france #uk #unitedkingdom
