United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and Restructuring Debates

Year 2024, Volume: 7 Issue: 4, 955 - 963, 08.01.2025

Abstract

The subject of the study is the reform discussions on the management of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The United Nations (UN) can be defined as the most influential organization in the international arena. In this article, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), which is the most influential organization of the UN and equally controversial, a superpower union with worldwide management, control and surveillance powers, is examined, and the rules it adheres to in its structure and while fulfilling its duties are examined, and the recent discussions on reform in this area are examined. The study gains importance because it offers suggestions in shaping the future of a superior organization that concerns many countries and their security. The method of legislative analysis was used in the preparation of the article. As a result of the research conducted, it was concluded that an organization with self-appointed and unchangeable permanent members, and members who can veto any decision they want, cannot be claimed to have a democratic structure and that this institution cannot be expected to be impartial. There are strong suspicions that the political and administrative wills of the governments of countries that have an effective say in world politics and security organizations such as the UN Security Council are not free and are mortgaged.

Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi (BMGK) Yönetimi Üzerine Reform Tartışmaları

Year 2024, Volume: 7 Issue: 4, 955 - 963, 08.01.2025

Abstract

Çalışmanın konusu, Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi (BMGK) yönetimi üzerine reform tartışmalarıdır. Birleşmiş Milletler (BM), uluslararası alanda en etkili örgüt olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu makalede, BM’nin en etkili örgütü olan ve aynı derecede tartışmalı olan, dünya çapında yönetim, kontrol ve gözetim yetkilerine sahip bir süper güç birliği olan Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi (BMGK) incelenerek, yapılanmasında ve görevlerini yerine getirirken ne tür kurallara bağlı kaldığını ele alarak bu alandaki reforma ilişkin son dönemdeki tartışmalar incelenmiştir. Birçok ülkeyi ve güvenliğini ilgilendiren bir üst kuruluşun geleceğinin şekillenmesinde öneriler sunduğu için çalışma önem kazanmaktadır. Makalenin hazırlanmasında mevzuat analizi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan araştırma neticesinde, kendi kendini atayan ve değiştirilemez daimi üyelikleri olan, istediği kararı veto edebilen üyelere sahip bir örgütün demokratik bir yapıya sahip olduğunun iddia edilemeyeceği ve bu kurumun tarafsız olmasının da beklenemeyeceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. BM Güvenlik Konseyi gibi dünya siyasetinde ve güvenlik örgütlerinde etkili söz sahibi olan ülkelerin hükümetlerinin siyasi ve idari iradelerinin özgür olmadığı ve ipotek altına alındığı yönünde güçlü şüpheler bulunmaktadır.
