Five Permanent Members Of The United Nations Security Council

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the five permanent members of the Security Council that he would like to stay on for a second term, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday citing two diplomats familiar with the matter.

The secretary in the department of defence production (DP) Ajay Kumar today said India has overtaken China as the world's largest arms importer and should shed the tag.

China has reacted with caution to a new step proposed by India to help it become a permanent member of the powerful United Nations Security Council. Last week, India said that it was willing, in exchange for induction, to surrender the important veto right that permanent members are entitled to.

A sixth secret ballot by the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday will signal whether former Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres is likely to be the next UN Secretary-General, or whether one of the five permanent Security Council members might veto his bid.

Dozens of nations signed on to a French proposal on Wednesday that the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council refrain from exercising their veto in cases of mass atrocities and genocide.

Advocating an urgent UN Security Council reform, India has said it agrees with the assessment that it is "presumptuous" of the five permanent members to claim responsibility for global security when they represent only 1.9 billion of the world's seven billion population.

The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council put pressure on Iran on Thursday to allay international concern about its nuclear programme, and said they expected talks with Tehran to lead to concrete steps toward a negotiated solution.
