The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, believes that it is necessary to develop a mechanism for suspending Russia's membership in the UN Security Council, since it violates international law. He stated this in an interview with RTVI TV channel.
"I think there is a flaw in international law, since a permanent member of the UN Security Council, in this case Russia, blatantly violates international law," he stressed. At the same time, Michel insisted that he did not require the complete exclusion of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, he admitted that the suspension of Russia's membership is not yet possible. Michel believes that the UN security concept "has already been badly messed up" and "had a lot of difficulties in functioning." In addition, he believes that the African continent is very little represented in the UN structures.
Russia has ceased to be a party to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights since September 16, 2022. The body suspended consideration of all complaints against Russia after reports of the country's withdrawal from the Council of Europe.
