May: Switzerland Aims to Regulate the Use of the Veto

On April 26, the Security Council held a historic meeting on the
use of Veto power. At that meeting, an initiative by France and
Mexico to stop Council members from using veto in cases of
atrocities was re-echoed. Ambassador Pascale Baeriswyl,
Switzerland’s first Security Council president, told PassBlue her
country is actively pushing for the motion to become a resolution.
Will it happen? So far, only two permanent council members support
the initiative, which will be ten years in the making by 2025.
Ambassador Baeriswyl also told PassBlue why Switzerland joined the
EU in sanctioning Russia and gave a tale of caution on developments
in Sudan.
