Malaysia calls to limit UNSC veto, demands Palestine resolution implementation

NEW YORK: Malaysia has made a strong appeal to limit the use of veto power in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), stressing that the unchecked use of veto has obstructed peace efforts, particularly in the case of Palestine.

Taking the floor at the UNSC Debate on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan stressed that the veto should not be used to block resolutions aimed at upholding international law and protecting innocent civilians.
