Un Security Council Reforms

Pushing for a permanent seat for India at the United Nations Security Council, External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar today said established institutions must be reformed to create a more equitable global order.

French President Emmanuel Macron has voiced strong support for India's inclusion as a permanent member of a reformed United Nations Security Council (UNSC), along with Germany, Japan, Brazil, and two African nations.

Affirming support for the reformation of the United Nations Security Council to better represent the developing world, US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken said that the United States has long endorsed permanent seats in the council for India.

US President Joe Biden has told Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the United States supports initiatives to reform global institutions to reflect India's important voice, including permanent membership for India in a "reformed" UNSC.

Indian politicians have argued for decades that the nation deserves to be a member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

The United Nations Security Council needs urgent reforms and India should get its rightful place as a permanent member of the top UN body, says former Singapore diplomat professor Kishore Mahbubani.

The lack of adequate geographic representation in the UNSC is responsible for its failures, and giving Africa permanent membership will be essential to make the top UN body effective, R. Ravindra, charge d'affaires of India's UN mission has said.

Calling for a reform of the UN Security Council, India has cautioned against its peacekeeping mandates as "not representative of current realities".

The US has offered support for reforms to United Nations institutions, including the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said in a press briefing on Wednesday.

India has underscored the need for a reformed UN Security Council that better reflects the geographical and developmental diversity of the United Nations today.

India has criticised a model for the UN Security Council presented by the Uniting for Consensus group that includes Pakistan, saying it stands against the idea supported by a majority of member states to expand permanent and non-permanent seats.

Joining the chorus for reforms in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), Belarusian Foreign Minister Sergei Aleinik, who is currently on a visit to India, said Minsk would support India's call for a permanent seat in the world body.

India has stressed on the need for urgent reforms within the United Nations Security Council saying that the global body is otherwise heading towards "oblivion".

India has presented a detailed model on behalf of the G4 nations for Security Council reform that includes new permanent members elected democratically by the General Assembly and displays flexibility on the veto issue.

Underlining that the current multilateral governance architecture is "outdated", India at a G20 ministerial meeting here on Thursday called for comprehensive UN reforms, including the UN Security Council.
