00:00Our failure to establish a ceasefire is no longer justifiable. We have run out of excuses.

00:11Foreign Minister Mohamed Hassan said reform of the Security Council was a matter of life

00:15and death given Israel's ongoing onslaught on Gaza.

00:20Addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York yesterday, Mohamed said the veto

00:24power of the Council's five big powers had been abused to enable mass atrocities.

00:31It is time to address the problem. The veto should not be exercised at will. There must

00:37be interceptions in cases of crimes against humanity and attacks of civilian infrastructure.

00:45Veto power over resolutions of the Security Council is held by five permanent members

00:49— Britain, China, France, Russia, and the U.S.

00:56Mohamed also said the U.N. stood at a critical juncture after world leaders failed to end

01:00the killing of Palestinians.

01:03Understand this, our willingness to reform is a matter of life and death of countless

01:09innocent people.

01:10Malaysia and other nations had previously sought an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, only

01:14to be shot down through the veto.
