Closed petition Seek to suspend Russia as a permanent member of the UN Security Council

Closed on 7 October 2022

With the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has shown that it is unfit to be a permanent member of the Security Council. We believe Russia has consistently breached the founding principles of the United Nations, and should be suspended from the Security Council with immediate effect.

Having committed unprovoked acts of aggression with the invasion of a sovereign nation, and the apparent excessive use of force and targeting of civilians, these heinous acts perpetrated by Russia are incompatible with the privileged position it holds as as a permanent member of the Security Council.

We believe Russia has abused its position as a permanent member of the Security Council to avoid the consequences of its actions, and the time has come for Russia to feel the full force of international condemnation.
