Abstract
<jats:p>The aim of this study is to analyze the process of the formation of the new world order and to examine the role and actions of the permanent veto-wielding members of the United Nations Security Council within this process. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council with veto power - the United States, Russia, France, the United Kingdom and China - have always used their rights for their geopolitical interests, violating the principles of international law. The study argues that the pursuit of geopolitical and strategic interests by these states has often contributed to international instability rather than the promotion of peace and security. Russia’s re-starting of war against Ukraine, its annexation of territories, The U.S. President Trump’s desire to make Canada the 51st state of the U.S., his desire to take Gaza under his rule, his proposal to remove Palestinians from Gaza and settle them in Egypt and Jordan, the legalization of genocide and deportation against a people, its proposals to Ukraine to stop the war with Russia, its proposals to exploit the natural resources in Ukraine, its statement that negotiations with Russia will be without Ukraine, its attempts to subjugate Greenland, its views on Panama, causing Israel to go to war with Iran, etc., France’s exploitation of the economies of African countries, as well as small island states, and the fact that it is one of the main countries causing climate change prove that these countries are pursuing a neo-colonial policy. The United Kingdom and China are also supplying weapons to the warring parties instead of encouraging them to make peace. Another objective of the research is to examine the contributions of Türkiye and Azerbaijan to regional and global peace. Within this framework, the diplomatic initiatives of both countries, their mediation efforts, humanitarian assistance, and support for international legal norms are evaluated through a comparative approach. Particular attention is given to Türkiye’s and Azerbaijan’s roles in conflict-affected regions, including humanitarian aid, post-conflict reconstruction efforts, and diplomatic engagement. In such a situation, the formation of new centers of power is inevitable. The Organization of Turkic States, D-8 and other cooperation platforms have the potential to become alternative centers in international relations. For its contributions to peace, Türkiye could become a permanent member of the UN Security Council.</jats:p>
