#UNGA81 #UN80

Many governments told the UN General Assembly it can only stay credible if it reflects today's world, not 1945

Kenya said equality "ends at the doors of the Security Council", and Guterres called Africa's lack of permanent seats "unjust and indefensible"

What happens when those who use force are those whose agreement the UN needs to act? Authority sits in New York, power sits elsewhere. Council debates legality but can't enforce it.
