RT West launches massive campaign to kick ‘inconvenient’ Russia out of UN Security Council – Senator


A motive emerges.

Would difficult to impossible to get buy-in from China. That won't stop the West from trying though.

It looks like the world order is crumbling.

Can't happen as the UN is currently structured.


The membership of the Security Council is fixed in Chapter 5 of the UN Charter:

The Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America shall be permanent members of the Security Council.

The PRC is now a permanent member, replacing the RoC, and Russia replaces the USSR

Therefore to remove a permanent member would require an amendment to the charter, however Article 108:

Amendments to the present Charter shall come into force for all Members of the United Nations when they have been adopted by a vote of two thirds of the members of the General Assembly and ratified in accordance with their respective constitutional processes by two thirds of the Members of the United Nations, including all the permanent members of the Security Council.

Therefore, permanent members of the Security Council have a veto over their own expulsion.
