[text/observer network qi qian] according to reports from turkey’s anadolu news agency and reuters, on september 30, local time, turkish president erdogan stated that if the security council cannot prevent the israeli military’s attacks on gaza and lebanon, the united nations the general assembly should immediately convene an emergency session in accordance with a resolution adopted in 1950 recommending the use of force against israel.

after the cabinet meeting held in the turkish capital ankara that day, erdogan said: "today, lebanon chooses to stand with palestine and with humanity, peace and a culture of interfaith coexistence. but a small number of radical zionists "we will never agree to this cruelty and barbarity."

"if the security council cannot show the necessary will, the united nations general assembly should quickly exercise its power to 'recommend states to use force' in accordance with the resolution adopted in 1950." at the same time, erdogan urged reform of the security council.

erdogan was referring to united nations general assembly resolution 377, also known as the "uniting for peace" resolution, which aims to resolve the situation in which the united nations "fails to fulfill its primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security" due to disagreements among security council members.

the resolution stipulates that in the event that the security council cannot reach an agreement, the united nations general assembly, through the secretary-general, shall convene an emergency meeting to recommend that member states take collective action, including force, to maintain international peace. but the un general assembly's recommendations are not legally binding.
