Recommendations
The withdrawal of the veto in the Security Council at the UN. In addition to the States, the UN and its main decision-making body, the Security Council also openly criticized “the five permanent members (the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia, Editor’s note ) have, in our opinion, consistently abused power and the veto privileges to promote their own political or geopolitical interests over the protection of civilians “
The recommendations are clear. Amnesty a better defense of civil worldwide require to give the veto of the permanent members of the council. The NGO proposes in this context the adoption of a “code of conduct by which the members of the Security Council decide to voluntarily relinquish use their veto to block the action of the Security Council in cases of genocide , war crimes or crimes against humanity. ”

The ratification of the Arms Trade Treaty. Apart from this proposal, the organization asks to stop the flood of weapons in countries they fall into the hands of armed groups, including urging all states to ratify the treaty on the arms trade took effect in 2014. Finally, Amnesty is not optimistic about the prospects for human rights in 2015, providing more and more civilians are forced to live under the control of brutal armed groups and a worsening humanitarian refugee crisis
