What’s the point of holding a meeting at the United Nations? Can you leave for a while?

In fact, most meetings held at the United Nations have little to do with everyone's lives, and the resolutions and motions of the United Nations are, in many cases, just a tool to express a country's attitude. However, all countries in the world attach great importance to their role in the United Nations. During meetings, they basically dare not leave. This is because during United Nations meetings, representatives of certain countries foolishly leave the meeting, causing serious consequences. .

For example, in July 1950, a debate started at the United Nations venue surrounding the war between North and South Korea. The Soviet representative to the United Nations was actually absent from the key voting meeting. The Americans immediately seized this opportunity and submitted it to the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Resolution 84 was passed that day.

The Americans achieved great benefits for themselves by passing this resolution. Although the Americans only tied with the Chinese volunteers on the Korean battlefield, they gained a lot from Western public opinion circles.

Because according to the Charter of the United Nations, the five permanent members (China, the United Kingdom, the United States, France and the Soviet Union) who have one-vote veto power on a bill do not constitute a veto when they are absent or abstain from voting. Taking advantage of this opportunity to pass the bill proposed by the Americans will definitely be beneficial to the Americans. This is the origin of the volunteer army's battle with the multinational army. Afterwards, Stalin also felt very regretful about this and believed that the departure of the Soviet representative at that time (which he must have agreed to) was a serious mistake.

After learning the lessons of the Soviet Union, representatives of the five major countries never moved from their seats when meeting at the United Nations. However, because the foreign policy of the United States is relatively domineering, during meetings, senior American officials often leave the meeting because they are crowded out by other countries. However, the American representatives responsible for voting will not leave if they encounter those who are unfavorable to the United States. They will always use their veto power when passing a bill.

The U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations ran away

After Russia inherited the Soviet Union’s permanent member status, because of poor relations with Ukraine, Ukraine made this proposal: Ukraine It is proposed to remove Russia's veto power at the United Nations. The case was vetoed by Russia with one vote. This is also one of the jokes of 2018.

Every major country will make good use of its position in the United Nations to pursue its own national interests.

On February 25, 1999, China vetoed the draft resolution on the extension of the United Nations preventive deployment of troops in Macedonia. The reason behind this is that the Macedonian government was so immature that it actually established a so-called "diplomatic relationship" with Taiwan, China in 1999.

In fact, in October 1993, after Macedonia became independent from the former Yugoslavia, China established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level with Macedonia. However, on January 27, 1999, Macedonia actually issued a "establishment of diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. "Communique"; on February 8 of the same year, the Macedonian government also approved the "Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations", and the Chinese government announced the suspension of diplomatic relations with Macedonia.

In the face of Macedonia's betrayal, China exercised its veto power on the issue of extending the United Nations peacekeeping force in Macedonia. It was not until June 2001 that the two countries re-established diplomatic relations.

Of course, the Chinese cannot let Macedonia be fooled.
