Akm Shehabuddin Kisslu: Russian ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya scoffed at concerns that his country could fairly be the president of the Security Council for April during the war in Ukraine.
On Monday, Nebenzya pointed out that the US was president of the council in 2003 — the year Iraq was invaded.
The ambassador said as long as world order is maintained, there will not be any change in UN procedures that might lead to a change in Russia’s status.
Russia took over presidency on Saturday of the UN’s top security body, which rotates every month.
Russian ambassador said there were no complaints in February 2022 when Russia was last president of the council, while Russia invaded.
