New York -APA. "Georgia committed the act of aggression invading
into the territory of South Ossetia and violated UN Charter",
said Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, UN General Assembly President and
former Nicaraguan foreign minister at his first press conference, APA
reports. He criticized the United States for its role in the latest
world processes. "It seems the United States was infatuated with its
right of veto and thinks that it can do everything not depending on
its results". Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann called for urgent reforms in
the UN Security Council.
UN Security Council has 5 permanent and 10 temporary members. USA,
China, Great Britain, France and Russia are the permanent members,
which have a right of veto. The Council is functioning for 63 years
without changes. The UN General Assembly passed decision at its
closed meeting on July 15, 2008 to start intergovernmental talks on
enlargement of the Security Council’s composition.
Nicaragua is only country after Russia recognizing the separatist
regimes in Georgia. Some countries, including Armenia, Belarus and
Venezuela supported the Russia’s decision of recognition, but they
didn’t decide to recognize separatists so far.
