Frustrated by the United Nations passive response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, President Bronislaw Komorowski of Poland has said he intends to call on the organization to change its rules to prevent Moscow from vetoing Security Council actions.

The thing is that Russia has a right to ban any resolution of the United Nations Security Council that Russia does not like, including resolutions to stop Russia’s aggression. It is like being a judge and a criminal at the same time: Russia is using its veto right to prevent the United Nations Security Council from taking actions against Russia’s crimes. The funny part is that according to the present U.N. rules Russia has a veto over removing its own veto. This is the point Bronislaw Komorowski wants to make calling for reforming of the United Nations.
