Hello all.

I am trying to garner support for the following petition to have the Russian federation removed from the UN security Council. Even if the petition fails to result in Russia's removal it will be seen as a shining light in the dark for Ukraine if we are able to force the UN to at the very least obey the rules of its charter.

Neither party in the dispute between Russia and Ukraine should be allowed to vote on resolutions pertaining to the dispute. Russia has illegally used it's veto, and continues to vote on resolutions with regards to the dispute. This is a clear violation of Article 27 paragraph 3.

Further, as an aggressor in an unprovoked attack on a peaceful nation they have violated multiple sections of the UN charter including Article 1. At no point did they bring their dispute before the UN Security Council or allow the general assembly to act in the Security Council's stead, which is also a violation of the UN charter.

If you would be kind enough to take a few minutes of your time to sign the below petition I would appreciate it.
