Russia’s Exclusion From UN Security Council Would Make It Senseless

Damascus, Feb 28: The exclusion of Russia from the UN Security Council would make the organization senseless, Syrian presidential adviser Luna Al-Shibl said in an interview with Sputnik.

“The UN Security Council was originally created to prevent wars in the world. If a country like Russia is excluded, what role will this organization have? The exclusion of Russia from the Security Council will prevent the council itself from [playing] any role in the world,” the politician said.

The official recalled that the US attacked Iraq completely bypassing the UN Security Council, adding that it is trying in every way to weaken the role of the UN Security Council. “And the exclusion of Russia comes in the context of the weakening of this council,” she said.
