Veto abuse - case 1: #Russia on Feb 26 vetoed UN Security Council resolution demanding that it end its invasion of #Ukraine & withdraw all troops. Under Article 27(3) of UN Charter, Russia, a party to the conflict, should have abstained but did not. 👎news.un.org/en/story/2022/… 
Veto abuse - case 2: US has vetoed dozens of resolutions on #Israel & #Palestine. Its most recent was in June 2018.

Ca vous paraîtra anecdotique mais pour l'ONU c'est historique. Le petit Liechtenstein a fait adopter par consensus sa #VetoInitiative à l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies: chaque fois qu'un veto est dégainé au Conseil de sécurité, le pays incriminé devra se justifier à l'AG.
3 Etats membres permanents soutiennent la #VetoInitiative : Etats-Unis, France, Royaume-Uni.
