<p>There are currently no negotiations for a voluntary code of conduct in the United
Nations Security Council to help prevent the use the veto in situations where mass
atrocities are taking place. I am of course aware of the proposal put forward by France
and think that it offers an important contribution to the wider debate on reform of
the Security Council and I welcome the interest that this initiative has created.
The United Kingdom wholeheartedly supports the principle that the Security Council
must act to stop mass atrocities and crimes against humanity. We cannot envisage circumstances
where we would use our veto to block such action.</p>
