PARIS – Back in 2001, France floated a proposal that the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (P5) should voluntarily refrain from using their veto power when dealing with mass-atrocity crimes. And now, in the lead-up to the commemoration of this year’s 70th anniversary of the UN, French President François Hollande’s government is actively pursuing the idea again.
巴黎—2001年，法国提出一项议案，建议联合国安理会五大常规任理事国（“五常”）自愿在群众暴行（mass-atrocity）犯罪问题上克制使用否决权。如今，在联合国即将迎来70周年纪念之际，法国总统奥朗德政府再次积极追求这一议案。这一安排真的管用吗？
