Kenyan President William Ruto spoke against the UN Security Council structure during his talk at Peking University. He claimed the group has lost its standing because some members act against peace goals. One member nation invaded another country despite its role as a peacekeeper, he noted. The permanent member countries only became acceptable leaders after World War II ended.
Ruto added that these nations refuse changes even as their power appears less fair today. His comments match those of UN leader Antonio Guterres about reforming this outdated system. Guterres pushed for Africa to hold a permanent seat since African nations lack proper representation. The current permanent members include China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These five countries hold special powers above all other nations.
