End 'Might is Right' policy to uphold international laws
The primary objective of the United Nations Charter is to maintain international peace and security and to promote friendly relations among nations. The UN Charter is essentially a constitution, and a constitution is a form of law. According to Article 2 of the Charter, the preservation of the sovereignty and equality of all member states is the foundation of the United Nations. However, for several years now, many powerful nations, particularly the permanent members of the Security Council (those with veto power), have repeatedly violated this law. The United States, in particular, has consistently been a step ahead in this regard. China and Russia have not been far behind, and recently, India has also emerged as a violator. These nations are attacking Bangladesh's sovereignty by violating international law. It seems as though the "might is right" mentality is prevailing. If this continues, what is the purpose of the establishment of the United Nations? Have the powerful states forgotten the bloodshed and humanitarian crises on which the United Nations was founded?
