President William Ruto has lashed out at the United Nations Security Council's permanent members, accusing them of fueling global instability by taking sides in international conflicts and failing to uphold impartiality.
Speaking at Peking University in Beijing, China, on Wednesday morning, Ruto also targeted the escalating global tariff wars among major economies, warning that the resulting economic polarization is deepening inequality and undermining the rules-based international order.
President Ruto criticized the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council-China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States-for taking sides in global conflicts where they are expected to remain neutral and uphold international peace. ''The five permanent members with individual powers have been made to have an unacceptable peace and security architecture.
The Security Council, once a beacon of peace and diplomacy, now has one permanent member invading one country while another member takes sides in the conflict.
