The French President Francois Hollande has said that the stalemate at the United Nations over the conflict in Syria illustrates the need for a reform of the Security Council. Mr Hollande said the veto by Russia and China had weakened the UN.

"The question that is asked today is current members of the Security Council take the responsibilities to allow it to make decisions.

That is why I said to Russia and China that their attitude towards the Syrian crisis is weakening our capacity to fulfill the mandate of the United Nations charter."
“今天问到的问题是,安理会有责任让联合国作出决定。因为阻扰这个制度,导致联合国或者被忽略,或者失去作用。因此我告诉俄罗斯和中国,它们对叙利亚危机的态度削弱了我们履行联合国宪章命令的能力。”
