Seek to expel the USA from the UN using Article 6 of the UN Charter

Closed 711 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to invoke Article 6 to seek to expel the USA from the UN.

Article 6 of the charter allows for any member, including Security Council members, to be expelled for persistent violations of UN principles. Expulsion is decided by the General Assembly after a UNSC recommendation.
We believe the USA has persistently violated the principles of the UN Charter, both with & without its veto power, including by vetoing motions relating to Palestine, including calls for an immediate ceasefire.

We believe fundamental UN reform is essential to ensure fair global representation, justice, and peace for all peoples, including but not limited to the people of Palestine. We think expelling the USA from the UN is the first necessary step in this process.
