This includes reform of the <a href=\"https:\/\/main.un.org\/securitycouncil\/\">Security Council<\/a>, which consists of five permanent members, and 10 non-permanent members who are elected by the General Assembly.<br \/>\u201cWe must acknowledge that a system in which the will of more than 190 countries is subject to the whim of just five countries, is not a fair system, and it is not capable of fully inspiring or establishing trust either,\u201d he stated, adding \u201cthe world is bigger than five.\u201d<br \/>He also stressed the need to ensure that international law is applied equally to both the strong and the weak, warning that an international system where impunity has become the norm is doomed to decay.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2026\/09\/1168399\" title=\"Share this via Facebook\" class=\"facebook\" data-ms=\"facebook\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=UN rendered unable to fulfil its mission, Turkish President laments before world leaders&amp;url=https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2026\/09\/1168399\" title=\"Share this via Twitter\" class=\"twitter\" data-ms=\"twitter\">Twitter<\/a> <a href=\"\" title=\"Share this via Print\" class=\"print\" data-ms=\"print\">Print<\/a> <a href=\"mailto:?subject=UN rendered unable to fulfil its mission, Turkish President laments before world leaders&amp;body=https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2026\/09\/1168399\" title=\"Share this via Email\" class=\"email\" data-ms=\"email\">Email<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/rss\/articles\/CBMiV0FVX3lxTE1hRWpqWlQtRzlsYk1tY2pQMXhjeDl2c3ZvZnNDMTNOWEVIUlRGLUozV29BdktReG9ZOEx6eC1XNmxYMmhhaU9hNFozNEhxTXNtMU1QRUFqbw?oc=5\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook Twitter Print Email The United Nations continues to be weakened, and those who have tied their hopes to the world body \u2013 from Palestine to Sudan \u2013 have been disappointed, T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s President said, while adding that his country is committed to restoring confidence in the Organization.\u201cThe United Nations, established 81 years ago to maintain [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":225241,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-225240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quixnet.net\/wpinstance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
