United Nations: Security Council Expresses 'Shock and Dismay' at Bombing fter weeks on the political periphery of the Kosovo crisis, the United Nations Security Council made a dramatic return to diplomatic center stage early Saturday, as an outraged China denounced the United States and its NATO allies for their bombing of its embassy in Belgrade and demanded an immediate halt to the air strikes. After a senior United Nations official told the Council that the world body lacked the resources to conduct an independent inquiry into NATO's air strike on the embassy, Qin dropped his demand for such an investigation. China, which as one of five permanent Council members has a veto over formal actions and statements, usually permits the United States, Britain and France to work out positions with Russia, and accedes to their consensus view. partners.nytimes.com /library/world/europe/050999kosovo-un-china.html   (845 words)

UNITED NATIONS: Security Council Reform Not Just a Question of Numbers Brazil, which has aspired to a seat on the Security Council for years, has built up its case by actively participating in U.N. peacekeeping missions, such as the one it currently heads in Haiti, said former Mexican diplomat Andrés Rozental. RIO DE JANEIRO, Jul 5 (IPS) - Rather than granting veto power to a greater number of countries, the United Nations Security Council needs ”qualitative” reforms that would strip its five permanent members of that authority, if true multilateralism is to be achieved, say analysts in Latin America. A committee of experts named by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan set forth several proposals for Security Council reform, including initiatives for enlargement, but without altering the veto power of the five permanent members. www.ipsnews.net /news.asp?idnews=29361   (1226 words)
