JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa says the conflict in Ukraine has exposed the inability of the United Nations Security Council to fulfil its mandate of maintaining international peace and security.
He described the current formation of the Security Council as outdated and unrepresentative, adding that it disadvantaged countries with developing economies. “The war in the Ukraine has had an extraordinary impact on global affairs, and these developments will continue to define international relations into the future. As a country we are committed to the articles of the United Nations Charter. including the principle that all member states shall settle and should settle their disputes by peaceful means,” said Ramaphosa.
