Iran's Ahmadinejad Calls For Alternative To United Nations

"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday called on Asian states to seek an alternative to the United Nations for resolving world conflicts. 'I think that we should not focus all our hopes on ineffective bodies which are severely under the influence of bullying powers and instead look after a plan for a new order in the international scene,' Ahmadinejad said in a meeting of the Association of Asian Parliaments for Peace (AAPP) held in Tehran.

Ahmadinejad blamed the UN for not having been capable of taking 'one single positive step' in realising the rights of the Palestinian nation just because of the veto right of the US and Britain in the Security Council."
