Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., who has repeatedly referred to Russia as a "pariah state," reiterated his call for Russia to be ousted from the United Nations Security Council.
"The United Nations General Assembly should vote on removing the Russians from the Security Council. Russia is a pariah state and should be treated that way," Bacon asserted in a post Friday on X.
The Russian Federation is one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

The other permanent members include the U.S., the United Kingdom, China and France.
In a February 2022 post on X, Bacon wrote, "It is obscene reality that Russia now Chairs the UN Security Council. We should kick the Russians out of as many international organizations and forums as possible. Russia is a pariah state and should be treated as such."
In a December 2023 post, he declared, "The United Nations is an embarrassment with Russia sitting on the Security Council. Russia invaded its neighbor and is committing crimes against humanity. Kick Russia off the Security Council."
The U.N. charter, which lists the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as one of the permanent Security Council members, indicates that amending the charter would require support from all five permanent Security Council members.
"Amendments to the present Charter shall come into force for all Members of the United Nations when they have been adopted by a vote of two thirds of the members of the General Assembly and ratified in accordance with their respective constitutional processes by two thirds of the Members of the United Nations, including all the permanent members of the Security Council," the charter states.

Bacon wants the U.S. to provide more military assistance to Ukraine.
"Russia is losing on the battlefield and in the Black Sea. Its economy is in tatters. All it can do is bomb Ukrainian cities and civilians. This is why we must pass Russian sanctions and military aid to Ukraine. The House will vote on this in two weeks," he declared in a post Sunday on X.
