Can russia be removed from United Nations?

"The General Assembly may expel a member from the United Nations. But a Security Council vote to expel a member of the United Nations is required before the General Assembly can vote on it. That preliminary council vote requires the unanimous consent of its permanent members. Russia is a permanent member."

Certainly a Catch 22

Heller wrote Catch 22. The permanent member status for countries needs to be looked at, again.

@SW-User I know who wrote Catch 22. I was suggesting he might have written the Security Council rules, which makes the expulsion of a permanent member of the Security Council impossible.

@KiwiBird The veto for permanent members was a big mistake. No doubt the powerful nations thought they were giving themselves a big extra advantage but it has come back to bite them.

@Really Huge mistake. In February when russia continued it's invasion and war on Ukraine guess who held the actual Presidency of the Security Council. You guessed it. russia.
