“Earlier this month, President Biden’s ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, announced her country’s support for adding two new permanent African seats to the U.N. Security Council. This came on top of existing U.S. support for its democratic allies and partners Germany, Japan and India to receive permanent seats as well. Crucially, however, the U.S. does not support granting these new permanent members the same veto privileges that the P5 – the U.S., United Kingdom, France, Russia and China – have enjoyed since the U.N.’s inception.” (09/27/24)
