Nigerian Vice-President Mohammed Namadi Sambo who is attending the heads-of-state summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Tehran as the head of the Nigerian delegation supported Palestine's membership in the UN.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "Palestine should be an independent state," Sambo said, addressing the 16th heads-of-state summit of the NAM here in Tehran on Friday.

Elsewhere, he underlined the necessity for the strengthening of multilateralism in world management, and expressed concern over the slow trend of reforms in the U's structure.

In relevant remarks today, Swaziland's Prime Minister Barnabas Dlamini also stressed the necessity for a full revision of the UN Security Council's structure, and underlined that the veto right for certain world powers has spoiled the principles of a healthy world order.

"The UNSC doesn't conform to the principles of a healthy global order and management and the veto right has caused this situation. A partial reform is not fruitful but the whole structure should be reformed," Dlamini said, addressing the 16th heads-of-state summit of the NAM.

His remarks came after Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said that "the UN Security Council has an illogical, unjust and completely undemocratic structure and mechanism."

"This is a flagrant form of dictatorship, which is antiquated and obsolete and whose expiry date has passed. It is through abusing this improper mechanism that America and its accomplices have managed to disguise their bullying as noble concepts and impose it on the world," Ayatollah Khamenei stated, addressing the inauguration ceremony of the NAM summit on Thursday.
