Turkey and the United Nations

[4] The Geneva Group consists of the largest budgetary contributors to the United Nations and focusses on the efficiency of the UN as well as its administrative and financial policies.

[5] Turkey is a strong advocate of a UNSC reform, in a joint campaign with Argentina, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Pakistan, South Korea and Spain.

UN Assembly President Volkan Bozkır urged member states to seek consensus and to “correct the problems of structure and functioning of the Council.”[6] Turkey's main criticism is the UNSC's "lack of effectiveness".

Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan calls for the elimination of veto power for permanent members and suggests the requirement to reach unanimity in order to pass resolutions.

The last time was in 2009, in which Turkey gained provisional membership of the United Nations Security Council by receiving support from 151 states in the UN General Assembly.

[11] The second document is the Concept on Turkey's Contribution to Peacekeeping and Peacebuilding Operations, which was released by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on 15 March 2005.
